This year's German Pavilion at the renowned Venice Architecture Biennale is taking a stand against waste management and sustainability.

The contribution, entitled "Open for Maintenance", was presented and opened by its eight-member curatorial team May 19. It pushes the boundaries of conventional exhibitions by calling for a new, sustainable approach to building, said the team.
