VENICE: 11th Biennale of Architecture: OUT THERE: ARCHITECTURE BEYOND BUILDING

WOOD # 2 – The entrance to the Giardini. Interbreeding Field – project: Somewhere Out There in The Venice Garden by Li H. Lu. Interbreeding Field conceives how new structures combine with old ones to produce a new kind of utilization and function, thus developing a relationship of dependence between the new installation and its external environment. This is not simply a question of form, but rather a question of how to define the character and scope of the space between old and new. Interfering in architecture represents the production of a new life form, and is a phenomenon that has evolved through conversing with the surrounding environment, not by simply copying and transplanting past results. We believe that both interbreeding and interfering emphasizes the fact that people in an architectural environment are in a status of constant instability, spiel, participation and uncertainty.
