Paraguay
The Paraguay Pavilion at the 14th International Architecture Exhibition reflects on the nature of modernity in Paraguay, a territory with a unique social, economic, and geographic context. The Aqua Alta project, developed by a collective, uses water as a characterizing and structural element to create a conceptual and structural idea. The project is part of a collective reconstruction and sharing of fundamental questions to recognize the potential of Paraguay's particularity.
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...
