"The project reworks one of the exhibition's most historically layered buildings into a spatially coherent and technically integrated environment, enhancing the visitor experience significantly."
"A ring of public-facing functions, including a bookshop, cafeteria, educational spaces, and technical areas, is arranged around the core galleries, allowing for a more dynamic interaction with the exhibition."
"Original elements of the Central Pavilion such as the windows designed by Carlo Scarpa are restored and reinstalled, preserving the historical integrity while modernizing the space."
The Central Pavilion at La Biennale di Venezia has undergone a 16-month refurbishment, transforming it into a coherent and integrated environment. The project reorganizes historical layers into a clear spatial system, with the Sala Chini serving as the main distribution node. Public functions like a bookshop and cafeteria surround the core galleries, which are designed as flexible white box spaces. Key historical elements, such as Carlo Scarpa's windows, have been restored, and connections to the canal-facing terrace have been reinstated, enhancing the pavilion's overall accessibility and visual appeal.
