Project
Venezia, Italy 2010
An exhibition architecture for the audi urban future award, a competition looking for new ideas for urban developments for the life in 2030. Invited architects include alison brooks architects, big, cloud 9, diller scofidio + renfro and standardarchitecture. raumlabor developed a compact metaphor on urban density as carrier of the competitions' contents. the presentations of the different approaches to the competitions brief are displayed in a happy labyrinthine structure, that with openings and doors allows individual paths of the viewers and therefore for interconnections between the teams' statements. the out-most spacial line is dedicated to the physical presence of the exhibitions visitors and provides spaces for relaxation and a spectacular viewpoint. this ability for user appropriation of the exhibitions spacial system can be understood as raumlabor's reference to henri lefebvre's definition of "space is a product of social (inter)action"*
