The Venice Biennale in Architecture is the single most important and prestigious international event in contemporary architecture, offering an unparalleled opportunity to showcase Canadian architectural excellence on the global stage. As the largest tourist event in Italy, the Biennale is a 'must-see' attraction for visitors to Venice.

Canada's entry, Hylozoic Ground, will be installed in the Canada Pavilion, located at a key position in the Giardini, with panoramic views of the historic skyline and distant lagoon islands. Canadian participants in the Venice Biennale consistently enjoy an exponential increase in profile and business as a result of the worldwide exposure the exhibition provides.

Over 130,000 visitors from around the world will attend the 2010 Venice Biennale to be inspired by cutting-edge architecture and to network with like-minded individuals in one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Millions more people will be exposed to the Venice Biennale through the Biennale’s high-powered international media campaign, a dedicated website, extensive postering throughout Italy, merchandising, and exhibition catalogue.
