David Chipperfield, 2012 architecture biennial
Kazuyo Sejima, David Chipperfield,
The appointment of David Chipperfield was no surprise, as the architect?s name had been mentioned several times and speculation as to his appointment had appeared in several articles in the press and on the web.
Biennale president Paolo Baratta announced that the 2012 Architecture Exhibition will focus on relationships between great architects and the younger generation. The many initiatives involved include a re-launch of the Biennale Session programme, already successfully attempted in 2010, with the direct involvement of universities from all over the world.
