Svensk Standard
Frenzied work, with the table filled with oozing electronics, Svensk Standard made a model of Venice on the floor of the pavilion, including many findings from the city, paper gondolas and mechanical robots guised as urban debris.

Cleaning and leaving
The time has come for Svensk Standard to leave the Nordic pavilion into the good care and productive splendor of Economy. We will miss the pavilion and all the people that we met (in architecture) there. Many thanks and hugs to Testbedstudio and Economy for inviting us and to IASPIS for funding us.
Summing up
After a hard week at work, Svensk Standard retires to the donut for a moment of reflection and critique.
A Svensk Standard guide to...
The polished official texts of the Biennale caught our eye and we decided that a little appropriation was in order. Voila! Our own super-slick guide to At work with Svensk Standard.
Strategies for building your own palace in Venice #4
Strategies for building your own palace on a prime location in Venice #4: Third and last level. The third level is the most impressive level, like in Palazzo Ducale. This level is copying a temporary structure with arcs to give it a Venetian touch. With the temporary aesthetics of this palace, it will likely be accepted by the people of Venice, just like the temporary bridge Ponte dell'Accademia from 1854, which was replaced by a copy of the temporary bridge in 1985.
Lion beaver stucco
Anders is mastering the reproduction of the ancient Venetian winged lion beaver in pink styrofoam. The lion beaver was found in Basilica di San Marco.
The unnatural
Venetian mask, smoke machine and The Knife, makes the ordinary a little bit less ordinary.
Cesare, the aspiring actor
Cesare (looking into the camera) helped us with our project. He comes to the Biennale each year and makes a video reportage. He offered us a lecture about the pavilion and interviewed Caroline. Thanks for this moment Cesare!
Small talks
Whilst folding, Carro is informed about international education in Slovenia. The kids offered us styrofoam souvenirs for our grid. The future is looking bright!
Boat assistance
The latest contribution to the boat production: A red sailing boat made by a red dressed lady.
Ode to Yves Klein
After folding 600 paper boats, some of us felt the need to commit an architecture suicide.
Sharing knowledge
A happy Venetian architect showed Fredrik some new folding techniques. Then we had a nice chat about Scarpa, Venice and ancient cars.
Haunting Venice #3
The University of Venice needed a mystical touch: Postcards and a triangular obelisk did the job.

Haunting Venice #2
The monastery island of San Lazzaro outside Venice has a mythical past which its mental image thrives upon. An enhanced, modern imagery for the island has been created through postcards depicting San Lazzaro's unknown, dark secrets. "Venice of the mind" contiunues to grow.
Strategies for building your own palace in Venice #3
Strategies for building your own palace on a prime location in Venice #3: Second level. The facades fronting the canal at the backside of Palazzo Ducale are clad with scaffolding and huge prints of a blue, cloudy sky, which has been there for three years due to the renovation of the facades. Tourists and Venetians has started to see it as a part of the city image. In the future it is likely that the temporary structure will be a long lasting structure and a tourist attraction. Level two of the palace uses scaffolding covered with textiles, with cut out clouds as windows. Tourists will love it.
