The Venice Architecture Biennale is the most important international event in contemporary architecture. The Biennale brings together outstanding architects, designers, developers, urban planners and critics from around the world.

The exhibition will be held from August 29 to November 21, 2010 at the Giardini and at the Arsenale (preview August 26, 27 and 28, 2010), and in various other venues in Venice.

The title for this year’s exhibition will be ‘People Meet in Architecture’. Two major projects will be developed for the 12th Exhibition: Architecture Saturdays and the greater involvement of the Universities.
 
The Architecture Saturdays will include a series of conversations, performances and weekly discussions with architects, critics and personalities from the world of Italian and international architecture throughout the entire period of the Exhibition.
 
The University Project will be a collaboration with Italian and European schools and will aim at providing an important educational opportunity for students in the Faculties of Architecture, Engineering, Design, Communication and Sociology.
