French Pavilion Presents Outdoor Installation at 2025 Venice Architecture Biennale
At the 2025 Venice Architecture Biennale, the French Pavilion is closed for renovation, leading to an ephemeral outdoor installation titled 'Vivre avec/Living with' in the Giardini gardens. Designed by architects Dominique Jakob, Brendan MacFarlane, Martin Duplantier, and Éric Daniel-Lacombe, the temporary structure emphasizes environmental integration, opening to the canal and utilizing local materials to reduce impact. The exhibition explores six themes centered on coexistence with surroundings, including the existing building, proximity, damage, vulnerabilities, nature, and collective intelligence. This approach invites visitors to engage with architecture and landscape in a novel, sustainable manner.
