Rem Koolhaas then said the reason they didn't want to talk about it was not because it was a "painful" subject, but because they were in the middle of negotiations, and that he was optismistic about the outcome. After hearing Rem Koolhaas speak in person -- he came across as forthright, thoughtful, intelligent and honest -- I, too, am optimistic he will find a way to make it work. I am really looking forward to him pumping some fresh life into that very important corner of Venice, and would love to see more like-minded energy here in town.Cat Bauer in Venice Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18376687575392758300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3658567784785639005.post-49085342520869194732013-01-30T18:40:43.500+01:002013-01-30T18:40:43.500+01:00Thank you for this informative post.

I wonder how the design review will proceed now that Mr. Koolhaas has been anointed the curator of the next Biennale, happening at the exact same time as this controversial project.

Originally created as an "imitation" of the Art Biennale, the Architecture section of Biennale is evolving into a major exhibition-research project conducted by the curator, and has become the most important event in the world for Architecture.
