AGENCY FOR BETTER LIVING

Austria Pavilion, 19th International Architecture Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia

Curated and designed by Sabine Pollak, Michael Obrist, Lorenzo Romito

Commissioned by Federal Ministry of Housing, Arts, Culture, Media and Sport, Division IV – Arts and Culture

 

Local consultant

 

The objective of the AGENCY FOR BETTER LIVING is to explore opportunities, spaces, and rules that provide better living for all.

The exhibition asks how such better living can be successfully implemented, illustrated by examples from two cities, Vienna and Rome.

Visitors to the exhibition are invited to join the AGENCY and, in doing so, to become part of a transformation.

During the Biennale, the courtyard of the pavilion will become the AGENCY’s working and negotiation space, in which models and processes for and architectural approaches to better living will be developed together with visitors and other actors as part of a packed program of events.
