\u201eFreespace\u201d, which is this year\u2019s slogan published by Yvonne Farell and Shelley McNamara Irish architects\/curators, may be translated in more than one way, but its progressive contents has been on the air for more than a decade. The concepts of space and freedom have moral, political, philosophical approaches that the exhibition units of the Arsenale and other national pavillions. Of the national pavilions the Hungarian one titled \u201eLiberty Bridge \u2013 New Horizons in the City\u201d reacts in an easily understandable way to the call: its curators (J\u00falia Oravecz, Anna G\u00f6ttler, \u00c9va Torny\u00e1nszki) have narrated through excellent videos and video interviews about the urban infrastructure change of urbanistic scales initiated from below, by civilians.

It actually presents the renewal and transformation of Russian-Soviet railway and underground stations with a generous fresh exhibition-technology. The Japanese exhibition is also a unique one. Titled Architectural Ethnography, it is a survey of design and life, tradition and future, which are more consciously associated in Japan than elsewhere in the world.<\/p>\n
