The research project is on view at the Venice Architecture Biennale— in the Arsenale in the section “As New Households”— until November 26. On the wall, measuring 5.70 x 5.70 meters, Biennale visitors are able to see connections between the eight dossiers, each dedicated to explaining one financial, legal or regulatory instrument and its interplay with architecture and social space. Visitors can learn from Zurich’s Cooperative Conditions for other, and very different, settings around the world. The results are also accessible on this website and will be published in book form.
