Abacoarchitettura has invited David Chipperfield Architects to create an exhibition at the Basilica Palladiana in Vicenza, Italy, set to open 11 May 2018. It will be the first architectural exhibition held in the Basilica for over a decade, during which time the building was temporarily closed for extensive restoration. Between 1985 and 2006 Abacoarchitettura curated a series of contemporary architecture exhibitions dedicated to the work of Tadao Ando, Sverre Fehn, Alvaro Siza and Toyo Ito amongst others. The relaunch of this exhibition series underlines the organisers’ mission to enhance public awareness of architecture.
A press conference will be held on 24 January in Vicenza. More details to follow.
