Golden Lion

Belgium just won the highest reward at the Venice Biennale for Architecture:
The Golden Lion for the best installation presented by a Country is awarded to the Pavilion of Belgium and the installation "Kinshasa, The Imaginary City".
The Kinshasa installation is conceived and presented by: Katrien Vandermarliere (commissioner), Filip De Boeck & Koen Van Synghel (curators), Marie-Françoise Plissart (exhibitor). The project is recognized for its provocative and outstanding way of showing the public that the traditional strategies and typologies of architecture may not always be the best answer to the big challenges of the world. The project argues that the questions of identity, community and infrastructure are undergoing such heavy metamorphosis that new definitions and solutions are to be developed.

Congrats AM Plissart. And the others.
