Becoming, the motto chosen for the Spanish Pavilion in
this edition of the Venice Biennale 2018, presents Spanish
architecture as seen from learning environments, by means of
actions, discourses and pieces of work developed by a
wonderful set of architects that during the last years have
questioned the limits and conditions previously assumed by our
discipline.
becoming by means of a critical approach put into practice,
discovers the complexity of our operational logics, in an open
intellectual experience where students cook up their
conflicts.
becoming understands the curatorial project as a research
project and the Venice Biennale as an opportunity to confront
concepts and ideas, where the pavilion becomes an invitation
to go over the basis of architectural practice and what is
going on in our planet.
becoming is built via the means of 55 terms that relate to
architecture: not the architecture of the future but the one
of the present; an alternative present which explores new ways
of carrying out the profession, with different formats,
interests and emerging topics which require other tools, other
capacities and other ways of looking at them
becoming draws on the floor these 55 adjectives which
spatially organize the works tattooed on the walls of the
regained pavilion, currently empty, transformed by Vaquero
Palacios in 1952. With no hierarchical order, no categories
and from all the different scales at the same time, the 435
selected contributions by a board of experts via a public open
call, are placed by closeness and affinity, sharing issues of
concern and ways of being in the world.
becoming turns the pavilion into a freespace that can be read
as a data base or as an immersive landscape where each visitor
chooses his/her speed and his/her way through the material
space and the virtual one. (b-e-c-o-m-i-n-g.com)
The Biennale comes to an end, but becoming continues; it
remains on the internet and in the garden at the rear end of
this small pavilion, created by all of us, during the next six
months.
