As a live contribution to [Home at Arsenale] – Pavilion of Slovenia, the students of the Faculty of Architecture of Ljubljana will inhabit [Home at Arsenale] under the mentorship of the Slovenian architect Maruša Zorec. By redefining borders, replacing specific elements of furniture and introducing new uses, they will create a temporary environment for reading aloud some chapters of the books exhibited in the curated library. A temporary redefinition of the pavilion’s setting and an engagement with the audience by aloud reading will help students and visitors to rethink the notions of public, private, intimate, extroverted and participation: to redefine the notions of dwelling.
