Varied and engaging as ever, the 2021 National Pavilions at the 17th Venice Architecture Biennale tell a story of the current concerns of architecture and urbanism around the world. Spread across the Giardini park, the Arsenale grounds and several other locations in Venice, the national participations and responses to Hashim Sarkis’ seminal question ‘How Will We Live Together?’ are rich and multi-faceted. Topics range from challenges of the urban realm, technology, sustainability, migration and housing. Let the virtual tour begin!

Engulfed by the COVID-19 pandemic that broke out last year, many were gripped by the feeling of powerlessness.
Ambitious architects were no exception, as they had to witness postponements and cancellations of prominent international cultural events one after the other. The 17th Venice Architecture Biennale, initially scheduled to take place in May of last year, had to be delayed twice before it was finally able to open its doors to the public on Saturday.
