Biennale Architecture
From the Strada Novissima to the 12th Exhibition
The Architecture section of the Biennale was born in 1980 with the Strada Novissima exhibition space at the Arsenale Corderie, alongside the first International Architecture Exhibition directed by Paolo Portoghesi. Since then 11 exhibitions were presented, the last one of which (Out There: Architecture Beyond Building, directed by Aaron Betsky) attracted more than 129,000 visitors.
