La Biennale
The Venice Biennale is one of the most important architectural exhibitions in the world, held bi-annually in Venice, Italy. The most recent Biennale was in 2014, when Rem Koohlaus was the curator for the exhibition. I think I would like to experience an event such as the Biennale because I think that it would be a valuable experience to understand how some of the best architects in the world produce their work and see it for myself.
MIPIM (Le Marché International des Professionnels de l'Immobilier)
"The world's property market"
MIPIM is similar to the Venice Biennale as it brings together lots of people who work in similar industries from around the world. However, unlike the Biennale, this is completely focused on the money and profit within the sectors. Although this may be a factor in the Biennale it is never prevalent or considered when viewing the work of the architects.
Reflection
Overall, I feel that these readings have helped me to become more knowledgeable about many topics which have been covered in the Architecture in Context lectures. They have been informative and have given me lots of areas to research when I come to do other pieces of work, for example Design Studio projects.
Although there have been some readings which were not as interesting as others, generally they have been informative and have made me want to research aspects of them which I had not considered before reading them. I think that they will help me to become a better architect as I now will consider new ideas when designing my projects.
