The Chilean Pritzker Prize winner takes centre stage in this timely instalment. Remarkable for his drive to put into practice ideas that can bring improvement to the city and peoples lives, Alejandro Aravena is taking this one step further with his theme for the 15th Venice Architecture Biennale, Reporting from the Front. In keeping with this line of inquiry, the magazine offers readers the chance to discover the stories of many other architects from around the globe whose work has brought positive change to the built environment. Divided among participatory design, civic service, and sustainable landscape, the projects herein give an exemplary overview of Aravenas distinctive practice.
