VENICE - Arsenale
10th Biennale of Architecture - Le Corderie. Cities, Architecture and Society, the exhibition curated by Richard Burdett and beautifully designed by Cibic&Partners analyses the urban experiences of sixteen world cities in four different continents. It provides an overview of scale, location and form of these cities and city-regions. Satellite images, aerial views and figure-ground drawings illustrate the diversity, dynamism and complexity of the human footprint alongside statistics on population and size. Together they constitute the physical and social backdrop for the city experiences and urban projects described in the individual 'city rooms' ordered by continent. Shown above are the Density stalagmite models of the sixteen cities.
