Responding to the theme "freespace", Repair at the Australian Pavilion, curated by Baracco+Wright Architects in collaboration with Linda Tegg, aims to expand the point of view from the object of architecture, to the way it operates in its context, advocating a role that catalyses or actively engages with the repair of the places it is a part of.
"How does one translate an exhibition or installation into book form It's a particularly pertinent question for the Australian Pavilion, one of my favorite pavilions from this year's Biennale. Called Repair, the pavilion focuses on the role of architecture in repairing natural systems and generally creating "good" environments. " --John Hill, A Daily Dose of Architecture
