Author Description

''A complete guide to the exhibition pavilions designed over the last century in the Giardini di Castello in Venice. From D'Aronco's project to the last Korean Pavilion by Mancuso, the sequence of the constructions is visibly and profoundly linked to the events that have marked the Biennale's activity in the last hundred years. The gardens that host the Biennale are now home to an extraordinary and unique display of architecture, from the 'art houses' of the beginning of the twentieth century to the modern 'containers' for exhibitions. This volume documents the projects and works of: Aalto, Basile, BBPR, Boderg, Cellini, Birilli, D'Aronco, Dardi, Del Giudice, De Maria, Donghi, Fehn, Finzi, Giacometti, Mancuso, Kahn, Rietved, Scarpa and Stirling.''--
