Together and Apart

Latvian Pavilion at the 16th International Architecture Exhibition La Biennale di Venezia, 2018 

Together and Apart is an exhibition about housing and its relationship to political ideology. Presented as a historical study about the present, it looks how ideological programs, ranging from Red Vienna to International Monetary Fund, have impacted the architecture of the individual living space. Moreover, the exhibition questions the future of housing in one of Europe’s least densely populated states, where two thirds of the population live in apartments.
