VENICE - Giardini

10th Biennale of Architecture. Nigel Coates is head of the architectural department at the Royal College of Art in London, he is also the curator of the exhibition Babylon:Don which is being shown in the Italian Pavilion. While we were waiting, for the The Long Blondes concert outside the British Pavilion, he told me about the Babylon:Don exhibition "We tried to look at London from the gutter not from the air. And, we are trying to demonstrate how the city, which is over revolved, too rich can deal with it's future. It is so layered, so multicultural that it could fall apart in two minutes."
