Short feature from Monocle on this year’s Biennale. The curator, Chilean architect Alejandro Aravena, has given the festival a more social focus than usual, looking at methods for using architecture to improve quality of life. Specifically it seeks to expose new ways of overcoming the bureaucratic resistance often met (the titular “Front”) when trying to implement unconventional architectural solutions to social problems. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NI9E3R_55xc
