A research-based Exhibition
The role and task the curator has assumed differ profoundly to that of an arranger of distinct presences, of architects invited to talk about themselves, their work or their thinking, as occurred in past years. This time, the exhibition is the result of research effected under the guidance of the curator. There are some historic precedents to this in some of the early Architecture Biennales, but nothing comparable. The spirit of research is always something with which la Biennale concerns itself; but here it is la Biennale itself that is doing the research. And we are convinced of the importance of this development and this extraordinary opportunity Rem has offered us.
