Have We Reached the "End of Architecture"?

This year's Venice Biennale, curated by OMA's Rem Koolhaas, is "interested in the banal".

Heathcote raises interesting questions about the extent to which world architecture has developed in modernity, ultimately arguing that, "in a way, architecture is over." You can read the article, which neatly investigates the curatorial rationale behind this year's Biennale, in full here.
