Time Space Existence: the Future of Architecture In Venice
Until November 23, 2025, Venice is the global hub for architectural discussion with "Time Space Existence." This biennial exhibition, spearheaded by the European Cultural Centre, features projects from 52 countries, all focused on "Repairing, Regenerating, and Reusing" for a more sustainable future.
This country home starts with a 2,4 m thick gabion wall, which acts as a spine. The first marker which runs for 50 m, from east to west. All spaces have a linear organization, attaching themselves to the Gabion. The house also feature a 3 m wide veranda, which becomes the principal living zone.

The full-length Y-rain collector makes sure that the water shed by the roof is tamed and shot out away from the veranda. The pool sort of drifts away from the verandah as a reflective mirror plane, pointing to the peak on the opposite shore. Open showers, high rooms, terrazzo en-suites and brass lamps add to the overall frugal natural atmosphere. The Gabion has become overgrown and is ruinous and modern at once.
