Canadian Pavilion presents arctic adaptations at Venice Architecture Biennale
on the occasion of the 14th international architecture exhibition in  Venice, Canada’s national pavilion presents  ” Artic adaptations” ‘an exhibition that responds directly to the theme of ‘absorbing modernity: 1914 – 2014’.organized and curated by lateral office  of Toronto, the exhibition surveys a recent architectural past, a current urbanizing present and a projective near future of adaptive building techniques in Canada’s newest, largest and most northerly territory – nunavut. while modernity often ignores the demands of ‘place’ and ‘the local’, nunavut offers little daylight and freezing temperatures, a unique place that seems to resist the global trends of modernization.
