HOME: Material Narratives

  • The Australia Pavilion Venice, Veneto, 30100 Italy (map)

Every material of HOME tells a story. The rammed earth soil will be returned to it's original source. Limited fixtures are replaced by precise carpentry for a lighter touch upon the earth. The fluid forms of the plaster is reminiscent of homelands.

As we acknowledge the significance of every material, how is our notion of sustainability redefined?
