Tour the Highlights of the 2021 Venice Architecture Biennale

The 17th iteration of the famous exposition is ready for visitors.

For the last 40 years, the Venice Biennale of Architecture has produced a mixture of futuristic design, compelling propositions for environmental and technological innovations, and a healthy dose of inscrutable theoretical technobabble.

This year’s Biennale, which was supposed to take place last year but was delayed by the Covid-19 pandemic, is titled, presciently, “How Will We Live Together?” It includes submissions from 61 countries that are primarily shown in national pavilions in the city’s Giardini, a park on the southern side of Venice’s Castello district.
