Proposal for the Venice Biennale 23

 

Subject: Dieffenbachia Amoena, Shade Plant.

Object: Blue, Roof, Column.

Site: Pot

 

The intervention questions the approach of contemporary architecture as a good of economic development and synthetic environments within an unsustainable urban context. This environment has blinded architecture from its basic objective: the need for shelter. That is why the installation refers to the relationship between the natural (subject) and the artificial (object) both situated within a controlled context (pot).

As a paradox of contemporary architecture, the architectural object is reduced to its primary expression: the vertical line as a column and the plane as a roof to satisfy the basic need of the subject: shade on a sunny day.
