Germany
Bungalow Germania examines how architecture represents a nation and reflects its identity. The German Pavilion in the Giardini and the Kanzlerbungalow in Bonn, which served as the residence for the German Chancellor, are used as case studies. Despite their different styles, both buildings have spoken for the nation and have been transformed into stages for total interiority. By juxtaposing the two buildings, Bungalow Germania aims to create a conversation between them and challenge the friction between national identity and architectural expression.

Fun, colourful and thought-provoking, it offers a tongue-in-cheek moment to the Arsenale sequence...
Latvia's participation in the Biennale Architettura 2023 is organized and supported by the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Latvia.
