Fall 2014 : How to Build a Nation - The Venice Issue

Softcover,  144 pages.

20 x 27 cm

Release: October 2014

In 2014 for the first time, a general theme was given to the national pavilions at the Architecture Biennale in Venice. They were to be historical shows, focused on the impact of modernity on a country’s architecture. What it produced was not just a global survey of twentieth century construction, but also heroic stories of nation-building. Yes, architecture can build nations. Today, we seem far from that notion. The nation-state is either giving up on itself, or exploited through tyrannical regimes. Meanwhile architects are hardly taking up the cause.

Volume went to Venice to read and review the pavilions messages, and makes the case for building a nation.

With contributions by Ole Bouman, Rem Koolhaas, Stephan Petermann, Wouter Vanstiphout, Léa-Catherine Szacka, Luca Guido, Daniele Belleri, Ruth Lang, Nick Axel, Ryan King, Dan Handel, Justin Fowler, OfficeUS, Thomas Daniell, Andrés Jaque, Mariana Pestana, Bart Lootsma, Azadeh Mashayekhi, Brendan Cormier, Rob Dettingmeijer, dpr-barcelona + as special insert ‘Open: a Bakema Celebration’, the catalogue to the Dutch pavilion.

'Volume is an independent quarterly magazine that sets the agenda for design. With going beyond architecture’s definition of ‘making buildings’ it reaches out for global views on designing environments, advocates broader attitudes to social structures, and reclaims the cultural and political significance of architecture. Created as a global idea platform to voice architecture any way, anywhere, anytime, it represents the expansion of architectural territories and the new mandate for design.'
