This issue of MAP is a VENICE BIENNALE special.

In September 2011, selected teams won a competition hosted by the Danish Architecture Centre, to exhibit at the Danish Pavilion for the 13th Venice Biennale of Architecture. The theme and aim for the exhibit was to be the formalisation of months of research into the many challenges Greenland faces today and in the immediate future. This special issue of MAP, is a selection of the work exhibited at the Biennale in the fall of 2012, a full year of visits, expeditions, collaborations and speculation into the uncertain future of the worlds largest island at the edge of the North Pole.
