Fondazione La Biennale di Venezia, chaired by Paolo Baratta, inaugurates the 11th. International Architecture Exhibition entitled Out There: Architecture Beyond Building , directed by Aaron Betsky. The exhibition will be open to the public from Sunday, September 14 to Sunday, November 23, 2008. According to Aaron Betsky - already for six years director of the Netherlands Architecture Institute (NAI) in Rotterdam, one of the most important museums and architecture in the world, and since last year director of the Cincinnati Art Museum - the 11. Exhibition turns to architecture beyond building to address the central issues of our society. Instead of buildings, will present installations made by architects who responded to the stimulus of Betsky and accepted his challenge. This challenge reverberates onto us, encourages our capacity for interpretation and, through the emotion to give us the opportunity to draw some considerations about the meaning of the world and feel at home in it. Betsky points out "what should be an obvious fact: architecture is not 'the build' . Architecture must go beyond buildings because buildings are not just a reality. They are big and wasteful accumulations of natural resources are difficult to adapt to ever changing conditions of modern life. " "Most buildings are ugly, unnecessary and wasteful. Yet the architecture is beautiful - says Betsky - it can place in the world like no other art can do. It can make us feel at home in modern reality. Offers and plasma phenomenon that in today's world is one of the most valuable luxury: space. The exhibition collect and encourage experimentation : of momentary constructions, visions of other worlds, or tangible evidence of a better world. not want to present buildings and existing be enjoyed in real life. He does not want to propose abstract solutions to social problems, but will to see if architecture, by experimenting in and on reality, can offer some concrete forms or seductive images ". The
11. Show Out There: Architecture Beyond Building has therefore articulated in the exhibition areas of Italian Pavilion at the Giardini and Arsenale , installations, manifestos, utopian scenarios. These are experiments developed here for the specific purpose of the exhibition: to experiment with forms that renew architecture, the space in which we live our lives. If all 'Arsenal the visitor will see 23 Installations, Italy Pavilion to discover the experimental work of 55 international studies and a survey of the Masters of the Experiment .
The Corderie Arsenal start with Hall of Fragments, by David Rockwell with Casey Jones + Reed Kroloff: an interactive work that reflects on architecture's capacity to release its visionary power by borrowing from film . The present Corderie Installations large that "there are prototypes of buildings - says Betsky - is not constructed statements of the purity of form, are not examples of experiments taking place elsewhere." They are always different ways instead of asking questions about architecture and how you can feel "at home" in the world. This exhibition presents a challenge that must be considered in the collection of the works, beyond the meaning of each. It is a challenge of dialogue with the public and not an act of isolation. The architects communicate with the visitor through Manifestos, declarations of intent presented by the authors themselves to involve in their visions and their idea of \u200b\u200barchitecture. The objective is to establish a common ground and common understanding.

The tour ends in the Garden of Maidens, the new space acquired by La Biennale di Venezia, with Towards Paradise, a landscape installation by Gustafson Porter Group - Gustafson Guthrie Nichol.

The second exhibition is Uneternal City who, thirty years from Rome Interrupted, called twelve architectural firms - Italian, European, U.S. and Asian - to verify the general theme underlying the entire show by Aaron Betsky, this time applying it to the outskirts of the capital. How to transform the contemporary city, what would be the desired visions of possible future scenarios? Starting from what is, by the dispersed and complex reality of a territory as that of Rome, with Uneternal City is a challenge not so much the architecture of its traditional old town, but its actually more common on the surrounding area.
