Is there a globalized architecture able to shape an uniformed style through out the planet? Some of the most impressive national pavilions at Venice Architecture Biennale challenged back the “Absorbing Modernitiy” provocation launched by curator Rem Koolhas.
Curatored by felix._Giles_Anderson + Goad, the Australian pavilion at Venice Biennale features real-world scale virtual models of unrealized projects in the last 100 years.
Cinematographer Tomas Koolhas is about to present “REM” the feature length documentary that showcases how the architectures designed by his famed father Rem Koolhas are lived, explored and experienced by their inhabitant and neighbors.
With Rem Koolhas as curator of 2014 Venice Biennale, architecture world will have to touch base with the “Foundamentals”. No bombastic slogans are allowed, no flamboyant extravaganza or ArchiStar line-ups are to be shown off but a honest reflection of how architecture has broken national boundaries and how it relates every day with the “Absorbing Modernity” Issue.
