Description
The Croatian Pavilion is an ode to ambiances of coexistence of the wild and the domesticated, natural and fabricated, inanimate and living. It originates from the Lonja wetlands, where dynamic environments have evolved through centuries of symbiosis between a constantly changing landscape and the communities that have adapted to it.
The wetlands are taken as a laboratory sample, a lesson for the future, directing towards reciprocities between what comes from nature and culture. The Pavilion includes a spatial installation which is a part of the bestiarium of built and unbuilt observatories in the wetlands, while the pavilion’s network includes workshops and discussions that test themes and future action in the education of architects.
