Opening Plumbing the System — Dutch Pavilion at La Biennale di Venezia

At every edition of La Biennale di Venezia, people travel back and forth and materials are brought in. Nieuwe Instituut and the Creative Industries Fund NL have invited architects, urban planners and spatial researchers to consider possible solutions for the pressures that such large-scale events exert on the ecosystems around a host city.
