Serbia
The Serbian Pavilion at the Architecture Biennale 2021 interprets the theme "How will we live together?" through the relationship between life and work, which generates forms of collectivity and manifests in the urban structure. The exhibit focuses on the city of Bor, developed during industrialization around a non-ferrous metal mining basin. The exhibit evaluates the future of the life-work relationship through the concept of the "eight kilometer," a new layer of the city that introduces an element of imbalance in the existing urban structure.
Supermarket sweep… the Latvian pavilion which has been transformed into a minimart.
This contribution brings a little levity to the long trek through the halls of the Arsenale.
Choice as the basis of architectural process, the pop aesthetics emphasizing the languages of consumption as in Hamilton or Warhol: everything is structured by the dynamics of commerce.
Welcome to T/C Latvija, surely the most instagrammed installation of this edition of the Biennale
Latvia is reopening the archive boxes once again, reminding us (including the Biennial Presidency) of everything that has already been thought up and invented, and inviting us to place the most urgently needed products in the basket, to combine them with one another, and ultimately consume all the knowledge.
Fun, colourful and thought-provoking, it offers a tongue-in-cheek moment to the Arsenale sequence...
