La Biennale thinks Venice
During the last decades Venice has encapsulated some key concerns affecting cities across the world, especially in issues as critical as preservation, resiliency towards climate change, and the demands imposed on local contexts by global service and tourism economies. The Symposium shows the responses the Biennale Architettura 2021 Participants gave to those questions in the spaces of the Venice archipelago and lagoon, and contrasts the different initiatives the city may adopt to address such concerns.
