Quaderns Biennale – air / aria / aire

As a result of the agreement signed between the COAC and the Institut Ramon Llull, the magazine Quaderns d'Arquitectura i Urbanisme has become the new platform for the scientific dissemination of the content produced by Catalonia in Venice at each edition of the Venice Architecture Biennale.

Thus, the first Quaderns Biennale premieres, a monograph directed by architect Olga Subirós that collects the research "Catalonia in Venice - air / aria / aire," the project that represents Catalonia at the 17th Venice Architecture Biennale within the Collateral Events. It is a reflection on the central theme of the Biennale, "How will we live together?", with research on air as a common thread on which our survival depends.
