XVI Architecture Biennale in Santiago by Felipe Assadi
Built for the installation of the XVI Architecture Biennale at the Contemporary Art Museum at the Forestal Park in Santiago.
The Biennale´s exhibitions didn’t fit inside the Museum, which the architects already knew when choosing the venue. The lack of space at the interior of the museum gave the opportunity, to take a good portion of the exhibition to the outside. It had plenty of virtues for the event: a central location with good accessibility. The idea of this project is working with reusable or already reused elements, from the pavilion structure and it’s skin, to the interior elements of the exhibition inside of the museum. Once the Biennale is over, 100% of the elements used on the pavilion will be reused.
