A PHOTOGRAPHIC exhibition of the V&A Dundee building will be presented by architect Kengo Kuma at the 2018 Venice Biennale of Architecture.
It will be held from May 26 to November 25 in Palazzo Bembo beside the Rialto Bridge.
The exhibition is part of Time Space Existence, organised by the European Cultural Centre.
Kengo Kuma, architect of V&A Dundee, said: "The uniqueness of this project for us is in the position between the water and the city – it is very different from a normal site as it sits in between land and water. As we started thinking about the project one of my colleagues showed me a picture of the cliffs of north-eastern Scotland – it’s as if the earth and water had a long conversation and finally created this stunning shape.
"The design of V&A Dundee attempts to translate this geographical uniqueness into the building by creating an artificial cliff."
V&A Dundee will be the first building in the UK designed by Kuma, who is also designing the National Stadium for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.

A NEW show at the CCA in Glasgow proposes a "new transnational parliament".
Jonas Staal‘s The Scottish-European Parliament is centred around a model that transforms a decommissioned oil rig in the North Sea into a new transnational parliament.
The Scottish-European Parliament is the culmination of a two-year collaboration between Mr Staal, CCA’s Public Engagement Curator Viviana Checchia, Glasgow School of Art Professor Johnny Rodger and Glasgow University PhD Candidate & Graduate Teaching Assistant Anika Marschall.
During the exhibition, several of these political parties, organisations and groups will be invited to propose a possible scenario for the future use of this imaginary Scottish-European Parliament.
It will run from June 16 to July 29.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
