Venice Takeaway: Ideas to Change British Architecture

Venice Takeaway: Ideas to Change British Architecture, was the culmination of an ambitious global research project designed to make an original and far-reaching contribution to the debate about architecture in the UK.

Co-curated with Vicky Richardson, Venice Takeaway made the case for internationalism and expanding our horizons, in the process demonstrating the creative potential of sharing ideas across borders.

The exhibition was shown in the British Pavilion for the 13th Venice Architecture Biennale 2012 directed by David Chipperfield with the theme ‘Common Ground’ and featured work by aberrant architecture, Ross Anderson & Anna Gibb, Darryl Chen, dRMM, Forum for Alternative Belfast, Public Works, Urban Projects Bureau & Owen Pritchard, Elias Redstone, Liam Ross & Tolulupe Onabolu, Smout Allen & BLDGBLOG and Takero Shimazaki / Toh Shimazaki Architecture
