15th Architecture Biennale in Venice

15th International Architecture Biennale

Curated by Chilean architect and Pritzker Prize winner Alejandro Aravena, the 15th International Architecture Biennial ran uder the theme of Reporting from the Front. Aravena said the biennale was about focusing and learning from architectures that through intelligence, intuition or both of them at the same time, are able to escape the status quo. He aimed to present cases that despite the difficulties, instead of resignation or bitterness, propose and do something. We were very honoured to have Niamey 2000 as one of the projects exhibited at the biennale as part of the CA'ASI Exhibition, which showcased work from Chinese, African and Arab architects.
