The pavilion in Forte Maghera (Mestre) with around 190 square metres of floor space is used as an event room for dance performances, music events and larger concerts. It is also a meeting place for the people who live in the neighbourhood. “Freespace” is the theme of the building initiated by the curators Yvonne Farrell and Shelley McNamara and implemented by “RINTALA EGGERTSSON ARCHITECTS”, whose openness is intended to underline the Freespace theme of the Biennale. “With its attractive style and timber material, the pavilion fits perfectly into its surroundings, which are made up of very many old, historical buildings. The veneer was specifically installed as a ceiling element, which lends the overall ensemble a very special splendour”, said Ursula Geismann, Secretary of Initiative Furnier + Natur (IFN), about the interesting veneer project in Venice and ended: “The Biennale, which is open until 25 November 2018, is a must for architecture and timber fans.” IFN/DS
