Visitare un'esposizione di architettura è un'utile esperienza didattica per avvicinare gli studenti a un ambito disciplinare che non prevede insegnamento pre-universitario. A parte poche eccezioni, fino agli studi universitari la sensibilità allo spazio e alle sue implicazioni simboliche, funzionali, estetiche è affidata agli ambienti in cui capita di vivere. Ma i fenomeni riguardanti lo spazio e la sua trasformazione hanno anche implicazioni ambientali, sociali, economiche e politiche. La 14° Biennale di Architettura di Venezia ha affrontato questa complessità proponendola anche a un pubblico di non addetti ai lavori. Alcune delle questioni sollevate dalla mostra possono divenire chiavi di lettura per interpretare le esposizioni di architettura in generale e proporle agli studenti, non solo universitari, come occasioni di riflessione sulle scelte e responsabilità dell'uomo nella trasformazione dello spazio, dalla dimensione del domestico a quella urbana e del territorio. ; Visiting an architecture exhibition can be a useful didactic experience to approach a disciplinary field which is not a subject in pre-academic courses. With very few exceptions in pre-academic years, the awareness of space and its symbolic, functional and aesthetic implications is entrusted solely to the environments in which someone lives. However, space and its trasformation have also environmental, social, economic, and political implications. The 14th Venice Biennial of Architecture has faced this complexity and tried to present it to non-specialist spectators. Some of the issues raised by the exhibition have become central to the analysis and interpretation of architecture exhibitions in general, and have been proposed to students. These issues mainly investigate human choices and responsibilities in the transformation of space, from a domestic context to a more urban and territorial dimension.

Living with water is a daily fact of life in Slovenia, more than it might seem at first glance. Water ? from rivers to glacial lakes, waterfalls, torrential hills, gullies, bogs, disappearing lakes, bays, karst and thermal springs ? is one of the most potent and decisive factors determining both Slovenia?s landscapes and its supply of drinking water. Water is part of myriad myths and the subconscious, of thought and creativity, politics and protest. At the same time, water is full of opposites. 0A multidisciplinary team of 13 architects, landscape architects, urban planners, researchers and strategists explores and discusses the relationship between architecture and water both past and present and what a relationship should look like in the future. How to re-think water management and the protection of water resources? By understanding all the complexity and interconnectedness of natural and anthropogenic water systems and by developing alternative models, can we create a new, fairer, safer and less invasive living environment? Water management requires the input of informed people and important political decisions. The controversial and notorious unrealised Slovenian Parliament by architect Joze Plecnik, which incorporates a fountain hidden under the main hall designed as and meant to represent a mythical source of wisdom for the deputies, seems like an ideal space to talk about these pressing issues.00Exhibition: Slovenian Pavilion, 16th Architecture Biennale, Venice, Italy (26.05.-25.11.2018)
