encounters

For the exchange of ideas fostered by the Venice Architecture Biennale, just as important as the installations and presentations organized, are the people who organize them, and the encounters facilitated there, as as hordes of architecture professionals and enthusiasts descend upon Venice. As Peter Cook has once put it, “[i]f you love [the Biennale], it’s the best networking operation” as “[i]t saves a lot of time to come [t]here and bump into everybody.”

 

Different people have come together throughout the various editions of the Biennale and several relationships have been forged across them. Here you can find some of those people who have worked in the many editions of the Venice Architecture Biennale.
