Biennale
International exhibitions and pavilions showcasing architecture and design at major biennales worldwide.
Biennales are major international exhibitions held every two years that present cutting-edge architecture and design work. They serve as platforms for architects and designers to exhibit experimental projects, installations, and pavilions that push disciplinary boundaries.
The community explores diverse approaches to biennale participation, from large-scale architectural interventions and material experimentation to temporary pavilions and national representations. Work ranges from sculptural concrete wrapping systems and fabric installations to garden-based pavilions and thematic exhibitions at venues like Venice, Hamburg, Jeddah, and Milan.
