Repair: Australian Pavilion, 16th International Architecture Exhibition, La Biennale Di Venezia 2018

Description

Responding to the theme "freespace", Repair at the Australian Pavilion, curated by Baracco+Wright Architects in collaboration with Linda Tegg, aims to expand the point of view from the object of architecture, to the way it operates in its context, advocating a role that catalyses or actively engages with the repair of the places it is a part of.

Mauro Baracco and Louise Wright are the directors of Baracco+Wright Architects founded in 2004 in Melbourne, Australia. Mauro is also an Associate Professor at RMIT University in the School of Architecture and Design, Melbourne, Australia. Together, and in collaboration with the Australian artist Linda Tegg they are the Creative Directors of the Australian Pavilion, 16th International Architecture Exhibition, La Biennale di Venezia 2018

"How does one translate an exhibition or installation into book form? It's a particularly pertinent question for the Australian Pavilion, one of my favorite pavilions from this year's Biennale. Called Repair, the pavilion focuses on the role of architecture in repairing natural systems and generally creating "good" environments. " --John Hill, A Daily Dose of Architecture
