The School of Athens

Giardini, Giardini della Biennale, Castello

Title: “The School of Athens”
Commissioner: Secretary General of Spatial Planning and Urban Environment, Eirini Klampatsea
Curators: Xristina Argyros, Ryan Neiheiser

“The School of Athens” examines the architecture of the academic commons – from Plato’s Academy to contemporary university designs. Referencing Raphael’s famous fresco, the Pavilion is transformed into a stepped landscape – an open, informal, and common space that will invite visitors to interact with fifty-five 3D-printed models of educational spaces from around the world and different architectural periods, both built and unbuilt.
