BIENNALE ARCHITETTURA 2016 WEBSITE LAUNCH

MAY 2016

The website has now been launched for our project for this years Irish pavilion at the 15^th international architecture exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia. It documents the research and design in a series of interdisciplinary conversations with experts across a range of fields – neuroscientists, psychologists, health workers, philosophers and anthropologists – as well as people with dementia and their families. It will collate stories of personal interactions with dementia and record the process of developing our central Venice installation.
