TATE’S TURBINE HALL TO HOST ARCHITECTURAL EXHIBITION

This June, inspired by last year’s Venice Architecture Biennale, the Turbine Hall in Tate Modern will host an exhibition highlighting the architectural aspects of ten international cities, reports The Guardian‘s Francesca Martin. The Venice Biennale took the theme of sixteen meta-cities that had “defined new issues and undergone profound transformations.” The Tate is taking the idea further by featuring new commissions from top architects. It is thought participants could include big names such as Zaha Hadid. The show will be Tate’s second foray into the architectural arena, following the 2005 Herzog & De Meuron show, which featured 250 design models by the renowned architects.
