Venice has developed into a Mecca for international architects in
the last few decades. The elite of contemporary architecture gather
to celebrate the most prestigious architecture exhibition of our
time at the Biennale in the shadows of St. Mark's Place, the Rialto
Bridge and the Doge's Palace. It is all the more amazing that there
is no current guide which covers the modern architecture of the
largest open-air-museum in the world. This Architectural Guide is a
ticket to a journey of discovery off the beaten tourist path
through Venice after 1950. The boat trips and walks in the guide
lead to new residential complexes and converted harbour sheds, to
works by Carlo Scarpa, Tadao Ando and David Chipperfield. This very
practical travel guide also examines controversial new projects
like the flood control barriers or spectacular conversions like
that of the Fondaco dei Tedeschi by Rem Koolhaas. In addition to
never realised designs by Frank Lloyd Wright, Le Corbusier and
Louis Kahn, the authors present all the Biennale pavilions from the
last six decades.
