| MENDRISIO - VENICE Venice
Biennale and Academy of Architecture arm-in-arm The 12th International
Architecture Exhibition has awarded the Silver Lion (Leone d'Argento) for a promising young participant of the Exhibition to Kersten Geers, who has taught Design Studio at the Academy of Architecture since 2009. Two other architects who graduated recently in Mendrisio were also present in Venice: Romina Grillo and Liviu Vasiu; both prepared the Romanian
Pavilion (Padiglione della Romania). Additionally, the work of the 1st year students, under the guidance of Riccardo Blumer, are featured at the Culture_Nature exhibition. It bears repeating that since 2004, Marco Müller has successfully directed the Venice Film Festival. Finally, Bice Curiger, who taught contemporary art at the Academy, will curate next year's International Art Exhibition.
