Live contribution to [Home at Arsenale]* – Pavilion of Slovenia by the exhibitor/participant Michael Obrist.
A lecture – conversation upon the nature of living based on feld72 practice. Through its work feld72 investigates the relation between social space and architecture. What does it mean “Home” in a world of rapid transformations? How can we shape an environment of living based on sharing and participation?

 “… there is no break between the theoretical and experimental projects of feld72 and their designs for buildings: all of their work, irrespective of scale or means, investigates how the world is engaged and perceived through the lens of architecture. And there is an architectural lesson we can draw from this work, namely that the essence of architecture is nothing architectural.” (Kari Jormakka – Finnish architect, historian, critic and pedagogue).
