The Architecture Biennale: An Anthropology of a Venetian Experiment

By Albena Yaneva

A behind-the-scenes glimpse at architecture's biggest event through the assistants, staff and fabricators that bring curatorial visions to life

To understand how architecture biennales are planned, curated and staged, architectural theorist and anthropologist Albena Yaneva unpacks the development of the 19th Venice Architecture Biennale, through the behind-the-scenes "magic" worked by curatorial assistants, exhibition fabricators and hundreds of unsung staff members.
