Dialogues on venice:

Rethinking the Past, Present and Future of the City

MPavilion was transformed into a pop-up architecture studio for ‘Venice Studio Melbourne’. Over seven days, a suite of live streamed short design studios and public programs werw led by international offices of architecture and urbanism with 88 participating students—located both in Melbourne and internationally.

The public had the opportunity to be a ‘fly on the wall’—observing working live streamed studio sessions with some of the best architects on the planet while students developed their projects.

The program also included a four-part lecture series exploring the past, present and future of Venice featuring a lineup of international speakers.

This condensed satellite edition of the annual Venice Studio held in Italy each July aimed to renew international conversation about the architectural and urban complexities of Venice in light of present-day challenges and opportunities. MAP Studio, a Venetian practice and designer of the 2021 MPavilion, were the ‘Venice Studio Melbourne at MPavilion’ guest Programme Directors.

This program was developed in partnership with Scott Woods of Venice Studio and Melbourne School of Design at the University of Melbourne and is supported by the Venice Municipal Council.
