Performative design
the geometry is from-found considering fabrication constraints and material design choices.
an homage to the great lightweight builders of the past
Project by SO-IL, Mariana Popescu and TheGreenEyl at the 19th International Architecture Exhibition in Venice 10 May – 23 November 2025
working across borders and oceans we took inspiration from …..
biodegradable
pieces of knit
hours to knit
total weight
programmed LED strips
the geometry is from-found considering fabrication constraints and material design choices.

linnen, flax, pva etc all nice materials, all locally (europe)sourced all biodigredable etc…
will be reused after exhibition – we use DNA etc…
