Venice Biennale

Early last week I got back from the 2010 International Architecture Exhibition in Venice, also known as the Biennale.  It's a massive collection of exhibits by architecture firms from around the world.  The theme this year was "People Meet in Architecture," though it seemed to me that most entrants pursued their own ideas.  And some of those ideas were pretty far out: a cloud suspended in a room.  An array of hoses, hanging down from the ceiling of a darkened warehouse, whipping around as they spray water, illuminated by strobe lights.  Synthetic sea fans that twitch and move as you come close.  Check it out (plus my photos of Venice): http://www.flickr.com/photos/patrickandkristen/sets/72157625176397508/detail/
