An Architect’s Views from Venice

I recently returned from Venice and am eager to return to this city of delightful details.
- Giant door knocker on weathered door.
- Back canal with work boats and gondolas.
- Cappuccino machine designed by Dr. Who.
- View through the window grille at the Peggy Guggenheim Museum.
- A lovely arcade adapted for housing.





In contrast, the acres of Biennale Architectura exhibits were full of esoteric design theory and occasional beauty but were of limited use to a practicing architect.



- Circularity Handbook provides practical solutions to help exhibitors adopt circular practices and achieve the exhibition’s Zero Waste goal.
- Liminis represents a critical intersection between computational morphogenesis and traditional tectonic assemblage manifesting through 3D-printed ceramic bricks.
- CO-POIESIS explores how technological creation redefines humanity’s bond with nature.
