Grenada
Coethos is a cultural, economic, and social perspective from Grenada that addresses global environmental problems. It envisions a reconfiguration of urban landscape, rejuvenation of key components, and management of infrastructure and traffic for the benefit of individuals. Grenada's beauty is threatened by global warming, winds, and tectonic plates, but its people's resilience inspires architects to provide a useful space for the population. Grenada and its Parliament Building become the place where geological eras and community identity meet, recognizing the fragility of the environment while suspending time.

Welcome to T/C Latvija, surely the most instagrammed installation of this edition of the Biennale
Latvia is reopening the archive boxes once again, reminding us (including the Biennial Presidency) of everything that has already been thought up and invented, and inviting us to place the most urgently needed products in the basket, to combine them with one another, and ultimately consume all the knowledge.
Fun, colourful and thought-provoking, it offers a tongue-in-cheek moment to the Arsenale sequence...
Latvia's participation in the Biennale Architettura 2023 is organized and supported by the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Latvia.
