The UN General Secretary proclaims the climate change consequences will be of ‘biblical proportions’. But what will that feel like in the cities we know and love today – and what can we expect from the solutions? That is what the team behind the Danish contribution to the Venice Architecture Biennale has set out to explore. The exhibition “Coastal Imaginaries” explores how we can secure the livability in coastal cities by staging the future scenarios theatrically to create emotional experiences of climate change. Join us for this episode of Let’s Talk Architecture when Michael Booth visits the Danish Pavilion in Venice to interview curator Josephine Michau and scenographer Christian Friedländer. Through the exhibition they intend to evoke a sense of hope in the audience while grasping a rather dark future.
