«Salon Suisse» 2021 – Bodily Encounters

Further information

The Swiss Arts Council Pro Helvetia is the organiser of «Salon Suisse», an official collateral event of the 17th International Architecture Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia. The series of lectures, debates and events set in Palazzo Trevisan offers opportunities to discuss architectural issues in a pleasant and stimulating atmosphere.

This year’s «Salon Suisse» entitled Bodily Encounters, explores the fundamental connections between the human body and architecture. Our body functions as a crucial orientation and measurement system enabling us to experience space. Architecture for its part both protects and expands the body and serves as a receptacle echoing individual and collective memories.
