VENICE: World architects gathered in Venice for the Biennale festival starting on Saturday, bringing together 65 national pavilions and taking up the 3,000 square metres (32,300 square feet) of the Arsenale shipyards.
Dutch star architect Rem Koolhaas, the curator of the giant event which is held every two years, said this "provocative" edition was all about how different countries have adapted to modernity in design over the past 100 years.
"Modernisation is a very often painful process," said Koolhaas, a winner of the prestigious Pritzker Prize who is known for his unconventional designs and city living theory.
"Somehow every nation in the last 100 years has been forced to modernise itself, and forced to adapt to a condition that is currently dictating the direction of the world," he said.
Eleven countries including Ivory Coast, Kenya and Turkey are taking part for the first time in a Biennale that Koolhaas said was intended to be more about "research" than presenting a finished product to the public.
The show is made up of three interlocking exhibitions: Elements of Architecture and Absorbing Modernity 1914-2014, both at the Giardini, and Monditalia in the Arsenale -- a six-month workshop on architecture in Italy.
Some of the exhibits at the Biennale -- entitled "Fundamentals" -- are wilfully provocative, like the boring office ceiling with exposed pipework at the beginning of the exhibition, which is suspended under a dome that illustrates the soaring ambitions of architects in the past.
Koolhaas said this was intended to show that architects now are often confined to superficial changes instead of getting involved in the structures of buildings.
Another part of the exhibition brings together replicas of spectacular doorways from different parts of the world, ending up with a gray airport security scanner.

Architects take over Venice for Biennale festival

The architects tasked with designing a 4m enterprise centre for Kings Lynn have released their first designs for the site.
To send a link to this page to a friend, you must be logged in.
The Kings Lynn Innovation Centre spearheaded by Norfolk and Waveney Enterprise Services (NWES) took a further step forward yesterday after Norwich-based architects Feilden+Mawson were awarded the project.
The artist impression provides a first glimpse of the enterprise hub, which will be based on the Nar Ouse Regeneration Area site and part funded by a 2.5m grant from the New Anglia Local Enterprise Partnerships Growing Places Fund, and a further 1m from Kings Lynn and West Norfolk Borough Council.
Alistair Beales, cabinet member for regeneration and industrial assets at the borough council, said: This is a really exciting step forward for the town. Creating an environment in which business can thrive is vital to the long-term success of the local economy. The construction of the Kings Lynn Enterprise and Innovation Centre gives a clear signal that Kings Lynn is serious about developing business excellence and promoting growth.
The Kings Lynn Innovation Centre is due for completion in 2016 providing a local hub for start up and early stage businesses.
Philip Bodie, partner and lead designer at Feilden+Mawson, said: We are absolutely delighted to have won the commission to design the Kings Lynn Innovation Centre and is very much looking forward to developing design ideas with the stakeholders of the project.
Helping to create a new Kings Lynn landmark is both a challenge and a privilege and the whole team is very much looking forward to working with Nwes and Borough Council of Kings Lynn and West Norfolk to help make it a reality.

Architects reveal first glimpse of 4m Kings Lynn enterprise hub
The third and final stage of a competition for a new building for Tel Aviv Museum will be held tomorrow. The panel of judges will choose the plans for the building from three finalists - architects Yehoshua Gutman of Israel and Louis Ortega of the firm 451F of Spain; Preston Scott Cohen of the United States; and Ada Carmi-Melamed and Ram Carmi of Israel.
The building will be erected in the museum area, west of the existing structure, thereby doubling the area of the museum. It will include an architectural and design wing and an educational wing.
The final stage judges are architect Moshe Safdie, Professor Robert Oxman, architectural historian Yehuda Safran, Municipal Engineer architect Danny Keiser, curator of the design and architectural wing of the museum, Meira Yagid, and museum director-general and chief curator Professor Mordechai Omer, who will head the judges' panel.
The organizer of the competition is architect Yasha J. Grobma, who watches the judging as an observer. The same panel judged the second stage. The winning plan will be made public immediately after a winner is announced.
The competition was unveiled in October 2002 and was supposed to have two stages - winners of the first public and anonymous stage would compete in the second stage against architects invited to present plans. The first stage was held as planned in March 2003 and four architectural firms made it to the next stage, in which they competed against five architectural firms from Israel and abroad that had been invited to compete.
At the second stage, held in May, the judges found it difficult to choose one winning plan from the candidates and decided to add a third stage. The two final stages in the competition were not anonymous and included personal interviews with the contestants.
The proposal presented by Gutman and Ortega was the only one to move up from the public anonymous stage. For the final stage, the contestants were asked to relate to comments and requests for clarification that arose in the previous stage and to update their proposals accordingly.
The three that made it to the final stage were awarded the minimum prize allocated for the third place in the competition, $10,000. The winner of the first place will get $25,000 and his design will be the one for the new building, if all goes as planned.
Because of the location of the museum in Israel's most important and central cultural and arts compound, the competition to design the new building is one of the most prestigious held here in recent years, and compares with the competition for the Supreme Court building in Jerusalem held in the early 1990s.
The final stage of the competition has also raised special interest because of the architects competing - young people of the new generation against seasoned and experienced professionals, and architects from Israel against architects from abroad.

Design contest for Tel Aviv Museum annex reaches finals
Fort Washakie, WY (PRWEB) June 04, 2014
Approximately 4,000 square feet of Ward + Blake Architects design for a K-8 and high school campus to be built in Fort Washakie, Wyo., is dedicated space for cultural activities such as traditional language and dance practice for the predominantly Native American school population. Jackson Hole architects Ward + Blake whose institutional architectural projects include a LEED Gold-certified childrens learning center in Jackson, Wyoming are lead architects for the new $45 million Fort Washakie campus, partnering with veteran national school designers Fanning/Howey Associates.
The Ward + Blake and Fanning/Howey team recently submitted preliminary design schematics for the proposed 180,000-square-foot elementary and high school complex, which will provide classroom, recreational, and extracurricular space for approximately 800 students in two buildings. In addition to dedicated cultural space, the design includes outdoor classroom space to create an environment for non-traditional learning opportunities. The project is scheduled for completion in 2016.
We have submitted schematic designs that we believe meet the school boards desires and objectives for this ambitious project, says Ward + Blake Principal Mitch Blake. Now we will wait for the states approval and hopefully move forward with design drawings. An earlier three-day charette brought the design team together with stakeholders to help determine goals and needs for the project.
Fort Washakie is located at the confluence of the South and North Forks of the Little Wind River and is named for Shoshone Chief Washakie, namesake for the historic military Fort Washakie. Chief Washakie was known as a great supporter of education, and his policies figured into the first school at Fort Washakie being established as part of the Fort Bridger Treaty of 1868 with a first class of 35 students, both Native American and white.
We want to bring meaning to the project by recognizing the cultural context of the Eastern Shoshone traditions, said Blake in an earlier interview about the firms plans for the school design. The team intends to integrate cultural symbols that imbue meaning to the schools users into the design of the new school building.
Ward + Blake has designed several notable buildings for education, including the Teton County Childrens Learning Center in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and the St. Johns Medical Center Childrens Learning Center, which is still in the planning stages. The Teton County Childrens Learning Center The Ranch, built in conjunction with early education architecture specialists D.W. Arthur Associates, was short-listed in the schools category of the 2012 World Architectural Festival in Singapore. A recently opened Teton County School District Central Administration Office designed by the firm received special Jackson Hole Energy Sustainability Project funding.
Ward + Blake has a successful history of creating architecture thats sensitive to a sites environmental, cultural and historical cues, winning the firm numerous awards and honors including being named 2013 Firm of the Year by the six-state AIA Western Mountain Region. A recent monograph, In the Shadows of the Tetons: Selected Works of Ward + Blake Architects, provides an overview of the firms award-winning work.
About Ward + Blake Architects: Ward + Blake Architects was built on a distinctive vision: to be provocative in thought, flexible in nature and disciplined in execution. Since 1996, the firm has earned recognition for architecture that is sensitive to its environment and successfully integrated with its surroundings. Ward + Blake creates buildings that are tactile, modern, bio-climatically responsible, honestly expressed, technologically sound and artfully crafted.

An artists impression of the proposal for Caldecott Square, looking north towards St Andrews Church (s)
THE ARCHITECTS of a proposed town centre care home complex have defended the development after a letter raising concerns about the plans was sent to residents in the area.
The anonymous letter, sent to nearby residents last week, urged residents to object to Oak Retirement and Audley Holdings' 18m plan to build 73 extra care apartments in what would be known as Caldecott Square, on the site of the former Herbert Gray College behind St Andrew's Church.
The author requested English Heritage be re-consulted about the proximity of the flats to St Andrew's Church and its visual impact on Church Street and Regent Street.
We are sad to see that St Andrew's Church House will be lost, it read.
English Heritage were not prepared to list it as a building despite the fact it was unique to Rugby but not to our region.
We also have concerns about any future occupants residing at this location given its close proximity to an existing nightclub, the letter continued.
We believe this building should be set further back with high levels of sound insulation, and perhaps some amenity space and railings to separate it from the alleyways and service road.
But Rickett Architects, which is designing the development, has assured residents these matters had been taken into consideration.
