What We Share: A Model for Co-Housing
What are you willing to share with others? This question is the starting point for the exhibition What We Share with the architectural firm Helen & Hard.
This main theme of this year’s biennale is How will we live together? and deals with how architects can create new communities.
In Venice Helen & Hard ↗ address the 2021 biennale’s main theme with a completely new project designed especially for the Nordic Pavilion. Helen & Hard have invited a group of people to work with the architects to develop a co-housing project with a number of shared functions. All the residents were asked how much they were willing to share with their neighbours. The installation shows how collaboration and spatial design can create both a community and a sustainable living environment.

Alongside The Museum of Finnish Architecture (Helsinki) and The National Museum of Norway (Oslo), ArkDes is co-commissioner of the Nordic Countries Pavilion, designed by architect Sverre Fehn. On other occasions, ArkDes participates at the Biennale in other capacities through exhibitions, events, and support for artists and architects.
