(R)Evolution! Summer Lecture: A Fragile Correspondence - 2023 Venice Biennale

The Architecture Fringe 2023 presents: (R)Evolution! Summer Lecture

The closing event of the Architecture Fringe 2023 Summer Programme will be a presentation of A Fragile Correspondence - Scotland & Venice curated by the Architecture Fringe, -ism magazine, and /other as a collateral event for the 18th International Architecture Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia.

A Fragile Correspondence is featured as one of the Architects' Journal's top picks of the pavilions and installations to see at this year's Biennale.

Highlighting cultures and languages that have a close affinity with the landscapes of Scotland, A Fragile Correspondence explores alternative perspectives and new approaches to the challenges of the worldwide climate emergency.

From the forests around Loch Ness, the seashore of the Orkney archipelago and the industrialised remnants of the Ravenscraig steelworks, the project takes us on a journey through three Scottish landscapes; the Highlands, Islands and Lowlands.

Our existence relies on a close relationship with the landscapes that sustain us. Our understanding of the natural world around us is fragile. How can a closer relationship between land and language help architecture be more attuned to the environment in which it operates?

The Summer Lecture will be presented by curators from the Architecture Fringe, ism magazine and /other and will be chaired by Amanda Catto, Head of Visual Arts at Creative Scotland.
