WHEN IS ENOUGH, ENOUGH?
In building the city we love, how do we measure the unmeasurable?
The Singapore Pavilion foregrounds architects and researchers whose practices aim to elicit inclusion, connection, freedom, attachment, attraction, and agency in the city. In examining design processes that work for these six goals, we uncover challenges and contradictions and bring to light methods of addressing diverse preferences. What is revealed are tensions between extreme positions and opportunities to envisage the potential spectrums in between. What measures do we have to take to live by our values? How do we calibrate for different entities, environments, and dreams?
M+B Studio has worked closely with the exhibiton team from the beginning of the project development to the take down process, as Technical Coordinator in Venice. M+B Studio has also coordinated the local logistics and the exhibiton maintenance, taking care of all exhibiton aspects, including the selection and training of the stewarding team.
