DESCRIPTION:Alessandro Bosshard\, Li Tavor & Matthew van der Ploeg\, archi
 tects\, curators of the Swiss pavillon of the Venice biennale 2018  \nAw
 arded by the Golden Lion at the Venice Biennale\, the Swiss Pavilion Sviz
 zera 240: House Tour exhibition refers to the standard height of housing 
 in Switzerland and to the anonymity of contemporary interiors. Interiors a
 re created at different scales and interconnected\, in a labyrinthine sequ
 ence of perspectives. At first\, everything seems familiar when entering t
 he pavilion. But as the visit progresses\, we are quickly transported like
  Alice to Wonderland in a world where everything is transformed. Switches\
 , doors and other common design elements that usually remain unnoticed are
  narrowed or enlarged to draw attention to their banality\, becoming excep
 tional. The authors of the pavilion thus highlight the problems of scale a
 nd harmony of composition in the face of the constraints of functionalism 
 and standardization. The conference will present the research that led to 
 this “House Tour”.\n\nThe architects Alessandro Bosshard\, Li Tavor\, 
 Matthew van der Ploeg and Ani Vihervaara live and work in Zurich. Since 20
 15\, they have been working as assistants and researchers at the Swiss Fed
 eral Institute of Technology in Zurich.\n\nLecture in English
