Client

Surface

The US Pavilion in the Giardini di Castello, Venice, dates from 1930 and was designed by Chester Holmes Aldrich and William Adams Delano, who went back to the ‘neo-classical colonial’ style. The pavilion is included in the “Piano Particolareggiato “Giardini della Biennale” del P.R.G.” of Venice, as a listed building based on the Italian law L. 1089/39 and L. 1497/39 (now D. Lgs. 42/2004). The building forms a C around a central courtyard with terracotta paving and has a facade with Doric pronaos and a frieze with stone metopes and triglyphs that run around the entire perimeter. A double dome covers the circular central room and its paving in Venetian terrazzo with a star decoration. The two lateral wings extending symmetrically from this room have two exhibition rooms each, covered by a flat roof with skylights. The main entrance is from the rotunda through the pronaos. Every year the pavilion hosts the exhibitions of art and architecture during the Venice Biennale. The studio takes care of its maintenance, but also takes an active part in the exhibitions, contributing to executive project, providing technical assistance during the fitting out, dealing with the authorization requirements for carrying out the works.
