Architecture Biennale: the new coexistence of the post-pandemic

2021-05-25T06:22:03.321Z


REPORT - Postponed for a year because of the Covid-19, the event opened in Venice on May 22, in great sobriety and despite the absent. All the excesses of the world are admirably shown, but few concrete solutions answer the crucial question of the Lebanese commissioner Hashim Sarkis.


From our special correspondent in Venice

Is this the end of a world that was better before or will be better after?

“It will be plural, elastic, collective,

assures us the curator of this 17th Biennale, Hashim Sarkis, as optimistic as he is resigned

.

We are doomed to the future and we have no choice but to move forward

.

Architecture can provide solutions where policies have failed.

It is our duty for future generations. ”

Decided long before the Covid-19 epidemic overthrows the planet, his question "How are we going to live together?"

took on a severity he himself never expected.

This Crisis Biennale propels us into a post-pandemic era, terribly distressing or tremendously promising, depending on whether we see the glass half empty or full.
