DEEP GREEN: A Laboratory of the Future in Rural China
Venice, Italy
“DEEP GREEN” is an independent exhibition curated by ArchiDogs and Qingyun Ma (DAMA Design), responding to the 2023 Venice Biennale’s theme “Laboratory of the Future,” focusing on the erosion of locality in China’s rural transformation under rapid urbanization. Amid the parallel forces of rural revitalization and counter-urbanization, the countryside is increasingly becoming an extension of urban expansion, while its social structures and cultural foundations are fragmenting.
Using curation as a method, the design proposes a shift beyond conventional “green building.” Through eight strategies—collaboration, symbols, dialogue, co-prosperity, memory, boundaries, media, and form—it constructs a multidimensional framework for understanding rurality, bringing together practices deeply rooted in local contexts. “Green” is thus redefined from a technical metric to a holistic perspective encompassing cultural, social, and energy dimensions.
Located in a historic building between the Biennale’s two main venues, the exhibition adopts a modular system of lightweight timber frames and recycled pallets. Standardized components enable rapid assembly and disassembly, minimizing cost, transport impact, and physical intervention, while embodying principles of reuse and low-impact construction.
Interactive installations and digital technologies further extend the experience, with a virtual metaverse platform allowing the exhibition to persist beyond its physical duration.
As a curatorial platform, “DEEP GREEN” situates China’s rural discourse within a global context, addressing the homogenizing effects of development-driven paradigms. By redefining “green” and translating it into spatial and curatorial strategies, the project reconsiders human–nature relationships and offers alternative, plural pathways for sustainability beyond purely technical approaches.
