The Lady on the stairs that climb on the highest steps may look at a much wider horizon, and in doing so wins a expanded “, proclaims the architecture Biennale 2016. We immediately liked this picture said President Paolo Baratta because in a sense represents the Biennale as a whole, with our attitudes and our goals.
The Italian Pavilion at the Tese delle Vergini in the Arsenale, sponsored and promoted by the Italian Ministry of cultural heritage and tourism, General Directorate of contemporary art and architecture and urban suburbs, was awarded the curatorial team tamassociati: Chris Lam, Raul Pacheco, and Simon Sai.
What is Mrs. see? I think-said Baratta – mainly composed of vast expanses of human settlements which no human could be proud.

Previous shows have addressed this in different ways. This time, we want to investigate more explicitly if and where there are trends that go in the opposite direction, toward the renewal; We are trying out encouraging messages. “
We need to get in touch with the public and with all possible stakeholders in decisions and actions that are created are our living spaces, both as individuals and as a community. How architecture is the most political of all arts.
