Winners of Venice Biennale

The emphasis of the 2012 Biennale is on what we have in common. In architecture everything begins with the ground.

Congratulations. The Venice Biennale Winners are announced. The Venice Biennale exhibition is arguably one of the world's greatest architectural platforms, bringing together great minds to offer up thought-provoking pavilion developments to create a global architectural think tank while giving insight into the technologies, ideologies and practices of architects around the world.Guided by David Chipperfield's theme of Common Ground, architectural firms and design teams from around the world focused on developing initiatives that celebrate the global architecture community and the rich culture that community creates and inspires.

The Australian Pavilion for the event took the theme and expanded upon it, emphasising not only what connects the architecture industry, but also what makes each country's architecture scene unique.

An Australian team headed by Anthony Burke and Gerard Reinmuth, in collaboration with TOKO Concept Design, presented this year's pavilion, 'Formations: New Practices in Australian Architecture'. According to the Australian Institute of Architects, the pavilion theme aimed to 'explore concepts that unite the architectural profession whilst celebrating points of difference'.

While the pavilion did not take home an award at the exhibition, it has been celebrated publicly for its interpretation of both the overall theme and its way of highlighting the Australian architecture sector.

Japanese architects Kumiko Inui, Sou Fujimoto, Akihisa Hirata and photographer Naoya Hatakeyama took home the top honours, winning Golden Lion for best National Presentation for their pavilion titled 'Architecture possible here? Home-for-All'.Centering on a theme of post-Tsunami Japan rehabilitation and redevelopment, the design team was applauded for its sensitivity and focus on the human element that is such a pivotal part of the architecture industry.

Other major award-winning teams included Urban–Think Tank with members Alfredo Brillembourg, Hubert Klumpne and Justin McGuirk being awarded the Golden Lion for Best Project of the Common Ground Exhibition, and Grafton Architects, who were awarded the Silver Lion. Special mentions went to projects from Poland, the USA, Russia and architect Cino Zucchi.

May architects and designers design more and more impressive works and bring us a colorful world. We also hope that we can create architectural visualization, 3d rendering, architectural rendering for their design.

Regular trainnings are usually held in our company, reffering to architecture design, management, architectural rendering and architectural visualization sharing, CG knowledge and so on. This afternoon, we had a trainning about Architecture Design Theory which includes Contemporary Architecture, Modernist Design Theory and Post-modernism. We had deeper understanding about architecture design through the lesson.
