Another Generosity
Eero Lundén: Another Generosity
Another Generosity explores the relationship between nature and the built environment, investigating ways in which new approaches to architecture can help shape a world that supports the symbiotic coexistence of both. A ‘generosity’, Lundén argues, is not just between humans but between humans and nature.
Utilising a structure comprising two basic elements—water and air—the structures currently on display in the Nordic Pavilion in Venice combine to create a visible and dynamic cellular structure. Inflated elements mediate between the natural and built environment, responding to external and sometimes unseen stimuli. Together they create a momentary hesitation that heightens awareness of what surrounds us.
