At this year's Venice Architecture Biennale the Russian pavilion presents the innovation city (or i-city) Skolkovo. Skolkovo is one of the largest Russian projects of today. Many international architects such as David Chipperfield Architects, SANAA, and Herzog & de Meuron are involved in the project.

When the visitors scan the lit QR-codes with the mobile devices supplied by the pavilion, they get access to more information about i-city.
