regenerate, innovate, preserve: azerbaijan's venice biennale pavilion on building equilibrium
Briefly

The Republic of Azerbaijan debut at the Venice Architecture Biennale showcases its pavilion, Equilibrium. Patterns of Azerbaijan, curated by Nigar Gardashkhanova. The exhibition emphasizes a new architectural balance by integrating nature, technological innovation, and cultural traditions. Focusing on core principles of regeneration, innovation, and preservation, it showcases Azerbaijan's dedication to rebuilding cities and maintaining heritage. It responds to Carlo Ratti's theme of collective intelligence by celebrating the fusion of past and present through various projects, including urban revitalization and the restoration of significant heritage sites.
"Every project in the Pavilion shows this: from Baku White City's transformation to the rebuilding of the Zangilan Mosque, to the design of Victory Park."
"It's also in our shared wisdom... the action and values of a nation's communities."
