Gareth Hoskins to design Scottish pavilion for Venice Biennale

Architects Journal

Gareth Hoskins has won the competition to design Scotland's first standalone pavilion at the Venice Biennale international architecture festival. The Glasgow-based architect saw off around 50 practices to win the prize project – part gallery/ part venue for debates – nicknamed the Gathering Space – although the final decision has yet to be ratified by the Scottish Executive. According to the Scottish paper The Herald, which announced the Hoskins victory this morning (30 April), the scheme will 'enclose both an indoor auditorium, for 100 people, and an outdoor area seating 200 people'.
