Venetian Yellow

Along with the rest of the Venice Architecture Biennale , the Australian pavilion opened on Sunday. It’s exhibiting 300 architectural models from Australia, each on their own 270mm diameter yellow aluminium podium. The exhibition is labelled Abundant , but could just as well be called “Tall” or “Squeezed” : the height of the models is limited to 1200mm, more than four times the width. Maybe dispelling notions that things are wide down here? Or perhaps there will be a lot of models precariously rotated 90 degrees.

Everyville, the online competition accompanying the Biennale is now judged and the entries are available to view .

Pics in November I hope.
