Venice Bienalle 2008

This exhibition grouped four architectural practices, Architecture Republic, Simon Walker, Lotus, and A2 architects around the theme of house extensions of less than 40 m2. Located in a small house under refurbishment in the South Lotts area of the city, it sought to expose some of the issues and architectural responses common to the design of extensions. As it was a building site, the house itself became part of the exhibit.
Our piece made explicit reference to both the desire and the need to extend, and showed a series of sections of projects drawn on acetate and laminated to the walls, like ghosts inhabiting the domestic memory of the house.
The exhibition was organised by Maxime Laroussi and Javier Burón and took place in February 2007.
