Description
Documents the artworks of the exhibition Repair, Australian Pavilion, 16th International Architecture Exhibition, La Biennale di Venezia, under the creative direction of Baracco+Wright Architects in collaboration with Linda Tegg. It shares the thinking embodied in the work and reflects on the spaces prompted by its life. The exhibition invites you to look anew at a plant community that has been overlooked as a site only for human use, to the extent that there is only 1% now left and to reflect on the ground, what it supports, what is displaced. As presented through our premier cultural institution, La Biennale di Venezia, this exhibition will live on through seed the authors of this investigation have already started to collect and through relationships they are building with research institutes in Europe.

Louise Wright is a co-director of Baracco + Wright Architects (B+W). She has a PhD in architecture (RMIT University) and is also a sessional lecturer in design at RMIT University, Melbourne, Australia. B+W believe in a wide role for architectural thinking beyond the individual building. All projects are approached with a particular and equal attention to the parts and the whole, to individual project conditions and to the discourse of architecture. Working across a diverse range of locations, from inner urban areas to sensitive rural and coastal environments, they explore how to make architecture that is generous, opportunistic and connected to a local physical environment as well as the non-physical mixed conditions of each context. They consider the potential of even very small interventions over a large scale. The work of B+W is shifting more and more towards landscape based approaches.
