WIM WENDERS 3D VIDEO INSTALLATION PREMIERES AT 12TH VENICE ARCHITECTURE BIENNALE

At the invitation of Kazuyo Sejima + Ryue Nishizawa / SANAA, Wim Wenders has created a 3D video installation for this year’s Venice Architecture Biennale, running from 29 August – 21 November 2010.

IF BUILDINGS COULD TALK… is a visual investigation of the Rolex Learning Center in Lausanne, the recently inaugurated futuristic building designed by SANAA as the flagship of the EPFL (Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne).

With this 3D video installation, Wim Wenders explores the question of how buildings communicate with their users responding to the theme of the Biennale 2010 set by Kazuyo Sejima, “People Meet in Architecture“.
