The installation 'Freespace' by CZA-Cino Zucchi Architetti is currently showcased in the Central Pavilion at the Giardini during the 2018 Venice Architecture Biennale, running until November 25.

It includes original documents from the Archivio LCD, a fresh photographic series by Cino Zucchi, and 3D reconstructions.
