The British Council presents The Garden of Privatised Delights at the British Pavilion for the 17th International Architecture Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia, which runs from 22 May – 21 November 2021 (previews from 20 May) in Venice, Italy. The exhibition explores the role that design and architecture can take in supporting a more inclusive future for our public spaces.

Working with five teams of architects, designers and researchers, curators Manijeh Verghese and Madeleine Kessler propose new ideas for ownership of, and access to, privatised public space – from the pub to the playground, common land to the garden square, the high street to facial recognition technology.

In this film, take a virtual tour of the exhibition’s six rooms, each presenting a new model for the future of public space through an immersive installation.
