Using photography, film and mixed-media presentations, Cities, architecture and society has been designed by Aldo Cibic and Luigi Marchetti - Cibic&Partners to recreate the urban experiences of 16 world cities in four different continents within the 300-metre long Corderie dell’Arsenale. These include Shanghai, Mumbai and Tokyo in Asia; Caracas, Mexico City, Bogotá, São Paulo, Los Angeles and New York in the Americas; Johannesburg, Cairo and Istanbul in Africa and the Mediterranean region; and European cities such as London, Barcelona, Berlin, and the Milan-Torino area. The exhibition will not only feature information and data on how these cities are being transformed in social, economic and cultural terms but also display new architectural and urban projects that are affecting the way people live, work and move in the dense metropolitan environment of these world cities. In the Padiglione Italia in the Giardini, 12 international institutions will present a cross-section of cutting-edge urban research, with contributions from the Berlage Institute, C-Photo Magazine, ETH Basel Contemporary City Studio, the MIT SENSEable Cities Laboratory, Schrumpfende Städte - Shrinking Cities, The Architecture Foundation and The MoMA, The Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA/AMO), The University of Texas at Austin, the Royal College of Art in London, Universidad Iberoamericana, Istituto Universitario Architettura Venezia (IUAV), the Urban Design Research Institute (UDRI) in Mumbai.
