CHAPTER NO. 02
GOLDEN LIONS
-
The jury of the biennale, composed of Wiel Arets (Netherlands), Kristin Feireiss (Germany), Robert A.M. Stern (USA), Benedetta Tagliabue (Italy), and Alan Yentob (Great Britain), decided upon two Golden Lions and one Silver Lion. Furthermore, the pavilions of the USA, Poland, and Russia received Honorable Mentions. The Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement is regularly announced a few weeks before the biennale starts – this year it was awarded to the great Álvaro Siza, and his masterly installation in the Giardini del Vergine demonstrated his excellence in a light-hearted way.
The Silver Lion for a Promising Practice was awarded to Grafton Architects (Yvonne Farrell and Shelley McNamara) for “the conceptual and spatial qualities of the installation and the considerable potential shown in re-imagining the urban landscape.” The Golden Lion for the Best National Participation went to Toyo Ito’s exhibition Architecture. Possible Here? in the Japanese Pavilion, and the Golden Lion for the Best Contribution to the Common Ground exhibition was given to Torre David/Gran Horizonte by Urban-Think Tank, Justin McGuirk and Iwan Baan.
