澳大利亚展馆设计运用了一个黑盒子包裹着白盒子的建筑表达手法，将简约推向了极致。

外部看起来像是一个黑色的花岗岩信封，运用一组特色活动板来展现其内部展览，同时提供广阔的视野与自然光。活动板可根据特定展览的需求而随意组合。

展览空间是一个纯净的直线型白色空间，这是一个接近完美的正方形比例，旨在把参观者的视线聚集到展品上。

“我们想要创造一个简单却充满自信、令人难忘而充满力度的展厅，在这个历史性的花园中既独特又谦恭；经典但不失活力、精准性和引人好奇的材质。在不越出建筑表达界限的条件下，我们确定了在一个黑色盒子中衍生一个白色盒子的核心设计理念。”

建筑的入口设置在钢与混凝土结构的二层，通过一个钢坡道与混凝土入口平台相连，平台上可以眺望威尼斯大运河的美景。

澳大利亚新展馆继承了可持续性发展和超越时间界限的设计主题，尽显澳大利亚艺术创造的卓越和多元性。

这是21世纪首个进入德拉基阿迪尼双年展园区的新建展馆，在2015年5月第56届威尼斯双年展，56届国际艺术展上正式对外展出。

The design of the new Australian Pavilion is of the utmost simplicity, architecturally expressed as a white box within a black box.

The exterior, a black granite envelope, features large operable panels which open up to ‘reveal’ the interior or to provide outlook or natural light. The operable panels also allow for the otherwise solid,singular object to take on a changing character depending on the requirements of a particular exhibition.The exhibition space is a pure rectilinear white space of an almost perfect square proportion, where art is the focus.

“Our idea was to create a simple yet confident, memorable, powerful pavilion. Standing apart but respectful of the historic garden setting; timeless but with vitality, tactility and materiality that invite curiosity and engagement. In not crossing the line of architectural expression competing with display content, we establish the core idea of a white box within a black box.”

Entry to the two level concrete and steel structure, is via a steel ramp leading to a floating concrete terrace overlooking the Rio dei Giardini canal.

The new Australian Pavilion embodies themes of sustainability and timelessness, and celebrate the distinctiveness and variety of Australian creative endeavours.

It is the first 21st century pavilion in the Giardini della Biennale, officially opened at the 56th International Art Exhibition, La Biennale di Venezia in May 2015.
