Swamp School Manual
Throughout the 16th International Architecture Exhibition — La Biennale di Venezia, the Swamp School will function as a changing, flexible, open-ended structure that supports experiments in design, pedagogy and artistic intelligence. Invited designers and scholars will conduct performative lectures and lead workshops for visitors to the Biennale, all of whom are invited to participate. In exploring the imaginary of a swamp—a living organism in which borders defined by social, political and cultural factors are porous and permeable—we will investigate an open artistic/architectural form and effective workshop and publication methodologies.
Curators of the Lithuanian pavilion, Nomeda & Gediminas Urbonas.
