Home at Arsenale – Pavilion of Slovenia

28.05. – 27.11.2016, Venice, IT

The Slovenian pavilion at this year’s Venice Architecture Biennale features with Home at Arsenale a curated library addressing the notions of home and dwelling.
A full-scale spatial structure, generated by a site-specific system of wooden bookshelves, performs as a curated collection of books.
Invited architects, artists, critics and curators from various backgrounds are participating with their selection – among them is Michael Obrist of feld72.

Since the dawn of civilisation, structures for dwelling have constructed the predominant part of our built environment, and have served to fulfil our most basic needs. Yet, they should aim beyond securing mere survival to provide the conditions necessary for a meaningful life.”
– Dekleva Gregorič
