At Work With: Architecture as air

We set up to perform Junya Ishigami's beautiful, thin and immediately collapsed structure Architecture as air, in the approximate dimensions 120 by 120 by 120 cm. The structure is so thin it can hardly be seen. Ishigamis original work fell after a few hours. We are sure ours will fall quicker.

At Work With is a project focusing on architecture as practise. Initiated by Economy (Tor Lindstrand) and Testbedstudio (Anders Johansson and Erik Wingquist), it takes the form of an office environment with a residency program during the three months in the Nordic Pavilion at the Venice Biennale. At Work With is conceived as a workspace for seminars, screenings, discussions, displays, practices, projects, meetings, modelling, projections, provocations, interactions, broadcasts, dreams, cooking and whims. Constructed as a continuous staging of meetings between practitioners and visitors, it is a working office as well as a social meeting point that emphasizes exchange and conversations about architecture. The project was commissioned by the Swedish Museum of Architecture.
