This year’s Architecture Biennale in Venice has been buzzed about nonstop around the globe since its late May opening. This year’s theme is FREESPACE, and you’ll find exhibitions throughout the city that inspire and explore concepts of public space and generosity. While we highly recommend a visit to the entries from the Vatican – ten chapels designed by a dozen architects and set in a woodsy garden – there are 71 participants in this year’s lineup and there’s plenty to pop into your agenda. If you’re looking for places to stay and things to do while in the beautiful city for the biennale, which is on through November, we’ve got you covered. Reporter: Alyssa Brown

“God,” German architect Mies van der Rohe once famously said, “is in the details.” It’s hard to imagine more beautiful details than these six boundaries where two flooring surfaces meet, marrying different materials in innovative and elegant ways. If you decide to imitate these transitions in your own home, don’t be surprised if everyone spends all their time looking down.

I have just returned from a trip to Spain to visit my sister. I had planned the trip to coincide with the International Patchwork Festival in Sitges, which is on the Mediterranean Sea, about 1/2 hour south of Barcelona. We took the high speed train from Madrid to Barcelona. In Sitges we stayed in an apartment belonging to the family of my sister's daughter-in-law. My sister is not a quilter, but she gamely came with me and enjoyed seeing all the different quilts. Her comment on the first day was that she was amazed at the scope of the art; that one can make quilts in any fashion, depicting just about anything. There was a judged show of quilts made by members the Spanish Association of Patchwork - a country-wide guild. There were seven other exhibits of the work of expert quilters from around the world, including Keiko Goke, Maria Luisa Gutierrez, Pat Holly, Libby Lehman, Nancy Crow, Quilts of India, and Quilts of Japan. Each exhibit had its own venue in different locations around Sitges. This made for lots of walking and a bit of map reading and exploring (signage wasn't that great), but the greatest benefit was the dispersal of the crowds of people so that one could enjoy the quilts without too many people in the same place at once. The exception would be Saturday, when there were lines to get into each venue. Here are three favorites from the judged show. There were many very complex quilts, but these were the ones I liked the best. (I will post pictures of the rest of the exhibits soon.) titled: Aurora Borealis the view from the right side of the quilt same quilt as above, viewed from the left. title: Azteca same as the above showing hand quilting.
