con-nect-ed-ness

Description
All life depends on water. Water exists everywhere on the planet in a dynamic cycle that the exhibition con-nect-ed-ness links to. Water collected from the roof of the pavilion is made visible and tangible and flows through the exhibition – who knows where it has been before and where it will go next? Who knows what other bodies, countries, and centuries it has passed through? The cyclical flow and immanent boundlessness of water tie past, present, and future together and preclude any possibility of isolating ourselves from each other, acknowledging that we are connected. The water carries time, disaster, life, and others. It flows through our shared spaces.

Image 1 – How will we live together?
Besides natural conditions, technology is used to link the exhibition to the weather of Venice. Instead of camouflaging, it is exposed as an active element of the exhibition, as a kind of functional transparency.

The tectonics of water is peculiar; it is unsuitable as a constructive building component, but as an architectural element it can foster atmosphere unlike most others.
