Serbia is presenting its project "Unravelling: New Spaces" at the 19th Venice Architecture Biennale, which opened on May 10th and runs until November 23rd. The exhibition explores interdisciplinarity and circularity in architectural production.
The project, curated by Slobodan Jović, features an architectural form machine-structured from knitwear. This structure gradually unravels and winds onto spools throughout the Biennale. The exhibit highlights architecture's capacity for constant re-examination and reinvention.
The installation uses 125 motorized spools powered by solar panels. This emphasizes the simultaneous processes of composing and decomposing the structure. The project also draws inspiration from Serbia's weaving traditions and the "Belgrade Hand," the world's first bionic hand, created in 1963.
The exhibition aims to position natural and artificial intelligence as complementary dynamic spheres. It emphasizes the importance of maintaining a clear boundary between the two. The project envisions architecture as open, tactile, inclusive, and constantly evolving.
