EUPavilion – EUPavilion

EUPavilion is an exhibition dedicated to the imagination of a new architecture for Europe. The design of a European pavilion inside the Giardini della Biennale provides the opportunity for a collective reflection on fundamental questions of language and form for a building representing a non-national – yet not generically international – identity. EUPavilion is part of the broader debate about Europe as a cultural entity and not just as a defined geographic area or a political and economic organization.

The EU Pavilion project aims to raise awareness of the public on the issues of the EU’s lack of a clear project that engages with (public) space, architecture and monuments through design. Ten offices from different European countries are invited to present a design for the first European pavilion at the Venice Biennale. The Venice Biennale and the typology of the pavilion provide an ideal testing ground for a new kind of European public building. The exhibition will be presented in Venice and will be permanently accessible on a dedicated website. Detailed and interactive renditions of the proposed projects will be made available on the website.
