18. Mostra Internazionale di Architettura – Padiglione Lituano
The Children’s Forest Pavilion è il progetto che rappresenta la Lituania alla Biennale Architettura.
Comunicato stampa
The Children’s Forest Pavilion is composed as a playscape and brings together works and findings developed in parallel to outdoor activities held with children in woodlands in Lithuania and Finland. Located opposite the entrance to the Arsenale, the pavilion is both an architectural object and a conceptual structure, allowing different formats of discussion, interaction and play. It is made out of timber from trees on the Curonian Spit that have, over several years, been collected in an archive at Nida Art Colony of Vilnius Academy of Arts as part of the project Neringa Forest Architecture. Conceived as an educational tool, the pavilion has the potential to ‘branch off’ and connect to other spatial and thematic elements, inviting young people, educators and curious adults to play and learn about forests as architectural and infrastructural spaces.
