17th International Architecture Exhibition

OOZE and Marjetica Potrč are invited to La Biennale di Venezia curated by Hashim Sarkis.

“The project’s vital importance for La Biennale derives from its novel approach to the relations between architecture and climate change. It explores cross processes which will involve a large number additional actors and communicate scientific research to a broad public. This cross border and cross disciplinary collaborative nature are fundamental for a show organized through the overarching question How we will live together?” -Hashim Sarkis.
