I think, that this is a great forum. Very intrest­ing and useful.
But I can’t find the search func­tion, cause I want faster find the topics that could be intrest­ing for me to express my opinion…

The exhibit is funny, because I really sup­port Betsky’s idea to increase the scope of archi­tec­ture and archi­tec­tural think­ing. He sup­ports his idea, but the work, as you say, doesn’t going beyond what we already know today. I’ve been for­tu­nate to work on most design scales, from graphic web inter­faces, to small and large build­ings, to urban design and mas­ter­plan­ning. My pre­vi­ous expe­ri­ences have also been in pho­tog­ra­phy and writ­ing, so in my own prac­tise, I see all of this in some ways as inte­gral to my “architecture” and work­ing process.

The projects that do offer insight into going beyond archi­tec­ture, are also some­what famil­iar -like art instal­la­tions, videos, sculp­tures and so forth. What struck me was the power of photo-​collage and how we as archi­tects almost only use photo-​collage for marketing/selling. In the end, some of my favourite projects from this bien­nale are in fact archi­tec­tural -such as those in the Swiss Pavil­ion.

That’s pretty funny, the video makes it look more cheesy than it really is. Keigo is right, there isn’t really any com­pe­ti­tion between teams or indi­vid­u­als, apart maybe between team leaders… what’s cool is that everyone’s on the same level .. trainee or archi­tects. But if you think it looks stress­ful in the video ….
