Hardly is there anyone who would argue that the modern generation comprises young people brought up not under the influence of works by Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky, Dickens and Balzac. Science fiction is their god. The Strugatsky brothers, Azimov, Bradbury, Clarke make up a group of contemporary classical authors whose works are read on and on by people of literally all ages.
And it is really small wonder: the rapid scientific and technological advance leaves no space for soul-searching yet it calls for the discovery of the future worlds making us wonder what they will be like: good or evil, comfortable or hostile? The Futuristic City PC screensaver answers these questions to some extent. It is an animated sci-fi screensaver and live wallpaper that will take you to the world of tomorrow and allow you to study the secrets of a sci-fi city with HD image quality.
Many modern science fiction movies paint an apocalyptic picture of the world of future generations quite obviously lacking an optimistic vision. The alternative way of development for the human civilization is described quite rarely and Futuristic City belongs exactly to that description of the future. Plunge into the world of technologies you cannot even dream of today, start studying the well-organized, structured but still bright and interesting city of tomorrow where your grandchildren or great-grandchildren may live someday.
Contributors come from across the globe, a mix of established names and emerging studios - from David Adjaye and Francis Kr, to Dream the Combine and Cave_bureau. A total of 89 contributors form the main show (and over half of them are from Africa or the African Diaspora), which is divided into six sections - all of which having impressively obtained a sustainability credential, flagging the importance of rethinking the festival model towards a more environmentally friendly future. At the same time, and for the first time ever, the events will include the Biennale College Architettura, which is yet to run (it will be on from 25 June to 22 July 2023). During that, fifteen renowned international tutors - such as Marina Otero, Nana Biamah-Ofosu, Sarah de Villiers and Manijeh Verghese - will work with fifty students, early career practitioners and academics from around the world during a four-week teaching programme.
Meanwhile, Nigerian artist, designer and architect Demas Nwoko has been presented with the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement of the 18th International Architecture Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia.
Complementing the main shows, a new Venice Architecture Biennale feature will be launched, titled 'Carnival'. This will include lectures, discussions, film and performances, crucial in drawing in the public and enhancing the dialogue between architecture and the world. 'Conceived as a space of liberation rather than a spectacle or entertainment, Carnival offers a space for communication in which words, views, perspectives, and opinions are traded, heard, analysed, and remembered,' Lokko said at the recent Biennale press conference. Carnival is supported by Rolex, the exclusive partner and official timepiece of the exhibition.
This special section of the exhibition has returned this year with a focus on modernist architecture and 'the ways in which this distinctive architectural style was initially developed and employed as a tool to support colonial rule before being adapted by West African architects to promote the excitement and possibilities of the period that followed Ghana becoming the first sub-Saharan African country to gain independence in 1957.' The show, titled 'Tropical Modernism: Architecture and Power in West Africa' is curated by Christopher Turner (V&A) with Nana Biamah-Ofosu and Bushra Mohamed (AA).
The Danish Pavilion, curated by Josephine Michau and in collaboration with landscape architectural firm Schnherr, is titled 'Coastal Imaginaries', and focuses on climate change, and specifically the rising sea levels. Schnherr proposes 'a design for the city which would allow it to better coexist with the rising seawater and rainwater levels that result from climate change, and which pose a significant threat to Copenhagen.' The city, which is often hailed for its quality of living, is one of many parts of the world under threat due to coastal changes. The exhibits aim to highlight this, while offering changes to its landscape infrastructure to help prevent flooding - it includes a mesmerising diorama.
Bringing the discussion around architecture back to the context of the home, the Estonian display is curated by Aet Ader, Arvi Anderson and Mari Mldre. Titled 'Home Stage' it will be hosted inside a real life rental apartment -address: Salizada Streta 96, Venice. 'The Estonian pavilion exists in the format of a durational performance, where ordinary domestic duties as well as fictional outbursts, both scripted and non-scripted, all take place in the public eye. One of the performers, Paula Veidenbauma, is intrigued by how issues of invisibility, such as care, aggression, and loneliness, contrast and accelerate in tandem with the vast visibility of real estate, which especially in Venice is driven by hyper-tourism and gentrification, said Mldre.
Co-curators of the Brazilian Pavilion Gabriela de Matos and Paulo Tavares look at notions of decolonisation, national identity, diaspora, indigenous knowledge systems, as well as around Braslia and modernism, while connecting to Lokko's main theme through the vector of the African diaspora. Titled 'Terra', the exhibit draws on the past to compose 'possible futures, focusing on the role of land in shaping our understanding of heritage and identity.' The pavilion is set to feature projects born of Indigenous and Afro-Brazilian knowledge about land and territory, as well as bespoke commissions such as an audio-visual piece by Brazilian filmmaker Juliana Vicente, archival photographs complied by historian Ana Flvia Magalhes Pinto, the ethno-historical map of Brazil by Curt Nimuendaj, and the Braslia Quilombola map.
The Polish Pavilion is filled by the frames of four life-size houses. The project, titled 'Datament', is set to serve as an instigator of conversation around physical and digital, data and real life. The installation was created drawing on works and thoughts of artist Anna Barlik and architect Marcin Strzała, guided by curator Jacek Sosnowski.
Commissioned by the Scotland + Venice partnership and curated by the Architecture Fringe, -ism, and /other, 'A Fragile Correspondence,' the title of the Scottish contribution to the biennale, takes place this year at the Arsenale Docks. 'From the forests around Loch Ness, the seashore of the Orkney archipelago, and the industrialised remnants of the Ravenscraig steelworks, the project takes us on a journey through three Scottish landscapes across the Highlands, Islands and Lowlands,' write the curators. 'Through these creative explorations, and by proposing a new lexicon of terms and definitions, the exhibition looks to see the potential in possible futures that sensitively work in correspondence with the land rather than simply upon it.' The displays are arranged into four distinct areas. Visitors are guided through the landscapes of Loch Ness, Orkney, and Ravenscraig before reaching a reading room and project lexicon.
Along both sides of the pavilion, visitors encounter a series of cards asking questions that aim to pinpoint the qualities that transform the urban landscape beyond a human-oriented, loveable city. These questions cover the fields of design for dementia and neurodiversity, rewilding, biodiversity, nutrition, and biomimicry ecosystems.
The Singapore Pavilion delves into concepts around measurements and impact, in a project led by curators and architects Melvin Tan, Adrian Lai and Wong Ker How. Titled 'WHEN IS ENOUGH, ENOUGH? The Performance of Measurement,' the pavilion ponders on how to measure community interaction, how to evaluate intangible qualities and importantly, 'how much is enough?' Visitor interaction and data collection are to be incorporated into the displays too, as guests are invited to answer six questions, as they walk around the centrepiece: a Values Measurement Machine, 'a spectacular series of analogue plotting machines marking data on five-metre-tall calligraphic scrolls.'
