Reflecting on the Venice Biennale 2016

Coffey Architects were lucky to have our annual office trip to Venice this year, making pilgrimage to the spectacular architecture of the island and exploring the forefront of architectural discourse at the Biennale.

Director Phil Coffey describes this year’s Reporting From the Front as ‘incredibly internal, thought provoking, people centred, political and strangely ‘big building free’ series of installations.’ To read more of his review for the Architects’ Journal please click here.

A month on, we’re reflecting on our experience and observations during the trip and how this can inform our critical thinking and practice. Keep an eye on our Twitter feed @CoffeyArch for our daily musings of the trip!
