FRAME China, no. 2, 2010, 30 x 23 cm.

In pages 34 and 35, the Swiss Pavilion in the 12th Venice Biennale of Architecture is featured. Curated by Jürg Conzett, the exhibits are presented under the theme of “Landscape and Structures”. The young woman in shorts and t-shirt is looking at a large model of a bridge across two large contour blocks. She may be a Chinese American student majoring in painting. She does not quite understand the mechanics of forces but appreciates the beauty of forms. Doing a summer semester in the Florence campus of her US college, she thought it would be a great opportunity to visit Venice for the art biennale, only to find out that it is the architecture biennale when she arrived in Venice.
