0222.4 Arts of the Working Class, N°120: The New Serenity - bplus.xyz adaptive reuse architecture

This is how we look as a global community: Arts of the Working Class launched its two-sided cover for the first iteration of 2038, the German pavilion’s curatorial project for the Architecture Biennale in Venice, Italy.
