Furniture made from squashed children's toys has helped its creator win one of the top prizes at the Venice Architecture Biennale.
Greg Lynn Form – which is based in Venice, California, not Venice, Italy – won the Golden Lion for the best installation project in the International Exhibition with its recycled toys furniture.
Poland took the Golden Lion for the best pavilion, with an exhibition that imagines quirky re-uses for the buildings of today.
The Silver Lion for a promising young architect went to Chilean group Elemental.
