2 NETWORK VENICE 2018 The Venice Architecture Bie is arguably the most important event on the international contemporary architecture calendar. Thousands of the world s most influential architects, designers, urban planners and critics visit the Bie, with considerable discussion and commentary in the architectural community as a direct result. The Australian of Architects recognises that this event results in the advancement of architecture both domestically and internationally. Created exclusively for the architectural and design community, Network Venice is a unique program that provides Australian practices the opportunity to engage with and support Australia s presence at the Venice International Architecture Bie. As part of Network Venice, you will have access to unique Bie experiences and events and the opportunity to network and promote your practice and work to an international audience. THE 2018 AUSTRALIAN EXHIBITION - REPAIR Repair by Baracco+Wright Architects was chosen by the Australian of Architects Venice Bie Committee for the 2018 Australian exhibition. Baracco+Wright is a Melbourne-based architectural practice, founded by Louise Wright and Mauro Baracco. Teaming up with artist Linda Tegg, architect Paul Memmott and landscape architects Chris Sawyer and Tim O Loan to inform, refine and complement their skills, the winning concept aims to showcase Australian architecture that engages with the repair of our ecosystems. An Australian grassland will be brought to life inside the Australian pavilion at the 2018 Venice Architectural Bie. 50,000 temperate grassland species will be cultivated and nurtured within the Australian pavilion, transporting visitors into this endangered Australian environment and reminding us what is at stake when we occupy land, through an immersive, multi-sensory experience to engage visitors with the concept of Repair, an approach to architectural thinking, set to become a critical strategy of architectural culture. The Creative Directors have called upon Australian architects to submit designs that have been conceived in relationship with their ecosystem, be it civic, social, cultural, economic or environmental. From these, a selection that display a range of approaches, scales and geographic locations will be filmed to evocatively hover above the grasslands, juxtaposing architecture and ecology.
