ARCHITECTURE

The British Pavilion at the 13th Venice Architecture Biennale 29 August – 25 November 2012

The Venice Architecture Biennale is an opportunity to be inspired by architecture and alternative methods from around the world. It presents a great opportunity for the UK to learn from, and perhaps adopt, new ideas. In particular we think there is much to discover from places where rapid economic development, urbanisation and experimentation are taking place.

Recently launched in Belfast at PLACE, Venice Takeaway will present proposals for British architecture inspired by an ambitious global research project. The aim is to inject new ideas into the UK and create a platform for discussion about who and what makes great architecture.

Your proposal should include ideas for subjects, locations and case studies. These could be ideas connected with design, the procurement of buildings, the role of the architect, construction, infrastructure, urbanism, housing, planning, culture and education, etc. Each explorer will uncover how and why something works, through interviews, observation and other forms of enquiry.arrive by 10am on 28 February 2012.
