Recently back from the Architectural Biennale in Venice. Delighted to see so many photographs. There’s a special focus on Thomas Struth. One of my favourites is the post-apocalyptic ‘Crosby street, Soho, New York, 1978’ (above) which on closer inspection is clearly taken post snow storm. There are significant contributions from Irish architects O’Donnell + Tuomey and Grafton Architects. And Heneghan Peng were selected to create the Irish Pavilion. In the furthest corner of the Arsenale is a pavilion showing a short film by Wim Wenders on Swiss architect Peter Zumthor. It’s only about eight or nine minutes long but worth going to Venice just to see this little gem.
