Statistical Evaluation of 208 questions by 36 participants from 12 national pavilions at the Venice Architecture Biennale 2021

We came to an understanding that we would

      adopt a more organic process

      see what emerges rather than pre-determining a form or process

      be less concerned about the outcome 

      trust that there would be one form even though it is not clear what it is at the moment

      consider the conversations as perhaps being more important than a project

      abandon deadlines in May, even November, and that it could go on for some years

      be committed to keeping an archive of what we say, write, and make

      address the thematic question of the Biennale “How can we live together”

Questions + meta-data is our MATERIAL to be

      given a form

      communicate

      curated

      ordered

      manipulated

      built into something

      express subjectively

      express objectively

      express the spirit of the time
