Abstract / Description
Island captures collaborative practice research through the design and curation of the British Pavilion at the Venice Biennale 2018, responding to the theme “Freespace” - architecture as public realm.
The output was simultaneously an installation, interactive exhibition and built work, that accommodated a programme of events addressing issues of migration and climate change. Referencing Venice - a historic port city, shaped by migration and threatened by flooding - and Brexit in the shadow of colonial history, the themes of migration, climate change and national identity were translated architecturally; the existing pavilion as an empty shell, above which a publicly accessible platform was built at roof level to evoke a floating structure over a flooded building.
