Mondo Meraviglioso
The 2018 Venice Biennale of Architecture opened in late May with plenty of Canadian content. An early highlight was the unveiling of the beautifully restored 1958 Canada Pavilion in the Giardini section. The restoration, led by the National Gallery of Canada, with assistance by the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada and others, was facilitated by the support of La Biennale di Venezia, the Venice Superintendent for Architectural Heritage, the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada and Global Affairs Canada, especially through the Canadian Embassy in Rome. The ambitious project was carried out by the Milanese architect Alberico Barbiano di Belgiojoso, in collaboration with Venice-based architect Troels Bruun of M+B Studio and Canadian designer Gordon Filewych of onebadant. Canadian landscape architect Cornelia Hahn Oberlander and Bryce Gauthier of Enns Gauthier Landscape Architects collaborated with La Biennale di Venezia and the Venice Superintendent for Architectural Heritage on the redesign and replanting of the grounds around the pavilion. Funding for the $3-million restoration and the current exhibition about the Pavilion?s history, curated by Réjean Legault and called Canada Builds/Rebuilds a Pavilion, was provided by the National Gallery?s Distinguished Patron, Reesa Greenberg.
