Kuwait
The Kuwait pavilion explores the theme of "How will we live together?" through the interpretation of the country's hinterland. It examines the functional landscapes that support the nation's urban areas and addresses questions about their coexistence with expanding metropolitan areas. The pavilion aims to define the future of these endangered territories and expand the scope of architects' work beyond urban areas. It also reflects on the historical context of the region and serves as a case study for understanding the past, present, and future of these landscapes.
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...
