The 2014 International Architecture Exhibition Creative Director, Rem Koolhaas has selected the theme Fundamentals for the 14th Architecture Biennale which will run from 7 June to 23 November, 2014.

‘Fundamentals will be a Biennale about architecture, not architects. After several Biennales dedicated to the celebration of the contemporary, Fundamentals will focus on histories – on the inevitable elements of all architecture used by any architect, anywhere, anytime and on the evolution of national architectures in the last 100 years,’ said Mr Koolhaas.

Australia has been successfully represented at the Biennale since 2006, a major initiative of the Australian Institute of Architects, and is a vital part in the promotion of Australian architecture to the international architecture and design community with thousands of the world’s most influential architects, designers, urban planners, developers and critics visiting the Biennale.

The Institute’s Venice Biennale Committee comprises:

Brian Zulaikha – Immediate Past President/Director, Tonkin Zulaikha Greer (Chair)
Janet Holmes à Court AC – Patron of the Arts and Commissioner of the Australian Exhibition in 2010, 2012 and also for the 2014 Exhibition.
Paul Berkemeier – President Elect/Principal, Paul Berkemeier Architects
Shane Thompson – Queensland Chapter President/Principal, Shane Thompson Architects
Annabelle Pegrum – Director, PegrumJudd/Adjunct Professor, University of Canberra
Rachel Neeson – Principal, Neeson Murcutt Architects
Karl Fender – Founding Director, Fender Katsalidis Architects
Ross Clark – Chief Operating Officer, Australian Institute of Architects

The exhibition is supported by Austral Bricks, Smeg, Zip Industries, IBL Limited, Café di Stasio and Architecture Media. In addition, the Institute gratefully acknowledges the support given by the Australia Council for the Arts.
