In Palazzo Mora and Palazzo Bembo, two types of tours are possible. You can choose between:
Tour A: The Architect’s Mark
This guided tour explores the projects that followed the themes of the Venice Architecture Biennale 2016, analysing the tangible and intangible marks between past and future, tradition and modernity, between issues and progress, technology and art.
Tour B: Architecture: Vitae Capsa
This guided tour explores the projects that followed the European Cultural Centre’s theme, “Time Space Existence”, analysing the essence of architecture, of what is for us “the box of life” (Vitae Capsa), highlighting the importance of both the box and its contents.
In Palazzo Rossini, gmp - Architekten von Gerkan, Marg und Partner presents a project of the Academy for Architectural Culture.The design of our built environment is becoming more global, more diverse and more sophisticated in every dimension – how will tomorrow's architects be able to cope responsibly with this complexity? In Palazzo Rossini, gmp presents its initiative with several themes which our mediators are glad to explain to you and discuss with you.
In Palazzo Michiel, during the same period of the Venice Architecture Biennale 2016, the European Cultural Centre presents for the first time its exhibition "VENICE DESIGN 2016". Through centuries, designers questioned themselves about what is the difference between craftsmanship, arts and design. This guided tour, as addition to the design exhibition, tries to answer this question and gives us some thoughts to discuss the role of design in our society.
Our mediators are here to guide you and to start some discussions with you.
