Unfinished is an ongoing series of public discussions which have now been held in more than 10 European countries. Local architects, stretching across three generations shed new light on the legacy and status quo of regional architecture. In Venice, these protagonists from different countries will meet at the Serbian Pavilion for the first time and share their experiences and points of view. In an informal setting they will discuss the relevance of regional trends and if and how these will shape architecture in the next 100 years. The discussion will be moderated by Ivan Rašković, the Serbian National Commissioner, and by Bostjan Bugaric and Christian Burkhard, editors of Architectuul. Unfinished at the Serbian Pavilion will take place in the form of a colloquium following ‘Open Space’ principles. Participants are invited to prepare short statements on architectural issues that are particularly relevant in their home country. Topics include unsolicited architecture, semi-public spaces, hybrid use, ‘small scale -large impact’, informal architecture, ‘growing’ architecture, improvisations and user-enhanced design, among many others. Ideas will be shared in parallel 15-minute breakout sessions and summarised thereafter. No seating is required. The participants are invited to walk around freely and listen or debate on the topics they choose. All the discussed topics will be documented and made available online. With the Venice get-together, Unfinished will be able to make a giant step towards the facilitation of cultural, economic and political exchanges in architecture from a local point of view with the hope to establish the groundwork for a more nuanced locally rooted but globally informed architectural language.
