When was the last time you walked into a building and felt totally blown away by its design? Last week, the Venice Architecture Biennale opened. It's an international exhibition, where countries from around the world showcase their best work and share ideas that could change the way people think about buildings.

This year, Canada's contribution to the Architecture Biennale is doing exactly that. Shauna Levy is a design expert and the president and CEO of the Design Exchange in Toronto. She tells us why Canada's entry is getting so much attention.

Below are some photos of the visual digital project titled UNCEDED: Voices of the Land, which is the first-ever Indigenous-led entry to be presented by Canada at the Venice Biennale of Architecture.
