Fooooooam

I had the placer to participate with the guys from Superbia for the Romanian Pavilion at the Venice Biennale of Architecture. Our part (in collaboration with Alina Bradu and Silviu Medesan) was a webart project that would take the Internet language and apply it to the context of the show: brand new Romanian suburbia and how that affects on urbanism. Taking an expansive metaphor, we called our project Fooooooam and its a sort of virtual walking that includes animation and photos and it's on continuous evolution. I'd love to read some feed-back!

Venice Biennale of Architecture 2010 – Arsenale

Olafur Eliasson. Your split second house (2010)

This is the second post about the Venice Biennale of Architecture I attended last week, but this time, focused on the works you can find now at the Arsenale and the Central Pavilion, where the director Kazuyo Sejima and her team set a presentation with the main topic of the Biennale: People meeting in Architecture. “The idea is to help people relate to architecture, to help architecture relate to people, and to help people relate to themselves.” Some other national pavilions where here too (including Golden Lion’s winner, The Kingdom of Bahrain). Again, more details about the credits can be found at the Biennale site.

Venice Biennale of Architecture 2010 – The Giardini

Last week I took part in the Venice Biennale of Architecture, presenting a webart project for the Romanian Pavilion at the New Gallery of the Istituto Romeno Di Venezia (with a Radu Cioca’s sculpture above). I did have time to visit the rest of the Biennale and take some pictures. I know might not be fare for the creators, but I don’t have all the information so I’ll write just the country and if you’re interested you can search for the credit at the Biennale site. Here’s my personal favourites from the Giardini, where all the national pavilions are (next post, I’ll share you the ones I made at the Arsenale).
