Two biennials, two hemispheres, two trends : the biennials of Venice as a pretext for reflection.

La Bienal de Arquitectura de Venecia es uno de los eventos más importantes al mundo para la arquitectura y el debate disciplinario. Dos de las pasadas bienales: la que tuvo como curador el holandés Rem Koolhaas en 2014 y la curada por el chileno Alejandro Aravena en 2016; con sus marcadas diferencias y oposiciones, son utilizadas como pretexto para una reflexión crítica sobre dos tendencias que pudieran definirse “hemisféricas”. La bienal de Koolhaas presentó una valiosa investigación histórico-enciclopédica, que emanaba una latente inquietud. La bienal de 2016, la primera Bienal curada por un arquitecto del “hemisferio sur” del mundo, intentaba de contra mostrar en su amplitud un panorama de trabajos socialmente más comprometidos, pero a su vez sesgaba hacia un exceso de pragmatismo. Posiblemente valorar en una reflexión comparativa estos dos enfoques pueda restituir más nitidez al pensamiento y a la acción, gracias a la síntesis entre posiciones antitéticas que, por si mismas parecen no abrazar el amplio espectro de las posibilidades y de las necesidades disciplinarias contemporáneas.

The Venice Architecture Biennale is one of the most important events in the world for architecture and disciplinary debate. Two of the past biennials: the one that was curated by the Dutchman Rem Koolhaas in 2014 and the one curated by the Chilean Alejandro Aravena in 2016; with their marked differences and oppositions, they are used as a pretext for a critical reflection on two tendencies that could be defined as "hemispheric". The Koolhaas Biennial presented valuable historical-encyclopedic research, which emanated a latent concern. The 2016 Biennale, the first Biennial curated by an architect of the “southern hemisphere” of the world, tried to show in its breadth a panorama of socially more committed works, but in turn skewed towards an excess of pragmatism. Possibly assessing these two approaches in a comparative reflection can restore more clarity to thought and action, thanks to the synthesis between antithetical positions that, by themselves, do not seem to embrace the broad spectrum of contemporary disciplinary possibilities and needs. |
