Interview: David Chipperfield on curating
the Venice Architecture Biennale 2012

Movie: in this interview filmed at the Italian Cultural Institute in London yesterday, Dezeen editor-in-chief Marcus Fairs speaks to architect David Chipperfield, director of the 13th Venice Architecture Biennale.

Chipperfield speaks about Common Ground, his theme for the biennale, and gives his views on the contemporary architecture scene, comparing architects to “perfume brands at Duty Free, on a pedestal, singular and isolated” and says: “[Architects] don’t have common ground between ourselves and the public”.

The Italian Cultural Institute was the venue of Friday’s press conference to launch the 13th Venice Architecture Biennale, which takes place from 29 August to 25 November. Read more here.

The official announcement has been delayed because of Chipperfield’s reservations over working with Giulio Malgara, who was expected to become the director of the biennale and is a friend of Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi. Following Berlusconi’s decision to stand down it is expected that current director Paolo Baratta will retain the role as biennale director.
