The British Pavilion presents the work of ten architectural teams who travelled the world in search of imaginative responses to universal issues. Venice Takeaway charts their course in Argentina, Brazil, China, Germany, Japan, the Netherlands, Nigeria, Thailand, and the USA, and demonstrates the creative potential of sharing ideas across borders.
The exhibition presents the work of more than twenty-six practicing architects, curators, academics, filmmakers, and writers who were selected by a scientific committee following an open call for ideas.
英国馆展示了十二个建筑师团队环游世界时，所找到的对于世界问题具有想象力的回应。威尼斯的Takeway（英国馆主题，takeaway是英国西北部兰开夏郡Chorley镇上的一种外带快餐——译者注）详细阐述了他们在阿根廷，巴西，中国，德国，日本，荷兰，尼日尼亚，泰国以及美国的活动，并且表述了这些跨国界的想法的创造潜力。
这次展览有超过二十六位职业建筑师，策展人，学者，电影制片人以及作家组成的科学委员会，广泛的向全世界征求想法。

From curators Vanessa Norwood and Vicky Richardson:
Venice Takeaway examines themes that are of significance in both the UK and other parts of the world. By shedding light on alternative modes of practice, the exhibition demonstrates the common ground of architects internationally. Themes include the design of schools, provision of housing, urban development, planning, risk consciousness, and the competition system. One issue considered by several participants is the role of the architect and the profession’s relationship to the public.
威尼斯的英国馆Takeaway的主题对于英国和其他国家的都有着重要的意义。通过将目光转向到另一种模式的实践，这个展览强调了全世界的建筑师的共同基础。主题包括了设计学校，提供住房，城市发展，城市规划，危险意识以及竞争系统。许多参与者考虑的问题是建筑在这一切中的角色以及建筑这个职业与大众的关系。

The depth and insightfulness of the contributors’ research is a reminder that the practice of architecture is as much about observation and thinking as it is about design. Research takes a highly specific form in order to understand the relationship between the local context and the general condition of architecture. Subjects range from a detailed study of the career of one particular architect in Japan to a system of standardised schools in Rio de Janeiro and a floating community in the Netherlands. The result is an archive that includes hours of interview footage, thousands of photographs, detailed drawings and objects.
这些研究的深度和洞察力提醒建筑做法是需要经过观察和思考的，因为建筑是关乎设计的东西。研究者用一种非常具体的形式去理解当地环境与建筑总体条件之间的关系。对象范围从一个日本建筑师的职业生涯的详细研究到一个里约日内卢的标准化学校的系统和一个荷兰的流动社区。这些数小时的采访录像，上千张图片，详细的图纸和物品组成了最终的档案。

The exhibition itself presents two distinct atmospheres: an ‘emporium of ideas’ where the participants’ research archives are displayed; and a set of polemical proposals for the UK in the form of installations and objects.
展览本身展现了两种不同的氛围：一个参加者的研究档案展示的如同百货中心那么种类繁多的想法，另一个是是对于英国的装置和物体形式的建议。
Our hope is that the proposals will influence debate in the UK, provide an injection of fresh ideas and open up international dialogue. The research archives will be published online and in an accompanying catalogue, forming a resource that others can draw on in the future.
我们希望这个建议可以影响英国的讨论，并为此注入新的思想，打开国际的对话。这个研究档案将会在网上公布，并且随后会建立一个目录，在将来作为一种资源供大家使用。

Venice Takeaway responds to Biennale Director David Chipperfield’s theme of Common Ground by identifying imaginative and ambitious ways to negotiate the challenges of making architecture. The process of working on this exhibition has reinforced our belief in the importance of mobility across borders, openness to new ideas and an international approach to shared problems.
威尼斯Takeaway英国馆是对威尼斯建筑双年展的总策展人David Chipperfield的共同基础这个主题的回应，通过确定具有想象力和有志向的想法，与建筑制造的挑战进行协商。这次展览上的努力加强了我们对于跨国界移动的重要性的信仰，并且要吸收新的想法，共同面对国际问题。
We would like to express our gratitude to the Venice Takeaway participants who have undertaken their investigations with the leadership, determination and resilience of great explorers. We are convinced that their proposals will have a positive impact on British architecture in years to come.
我们想要表达对于威尼斯Takeaway英国馆的参与者的感谢，感谢他们对于领导力、决心的探索，以及对于伟大的探险家的研究。我们坚信他们提议在未来将会对英国建筑产生一个积极的影响。
