NAi director ole bouman and inside outside founder petra blaisse have revealed 'Re-set' to the public in the giardini at
the 13th international architecture exhibition in venice. curtains of varied opacities move through gerrit reitveld's vacant structure
on a ceiling-mounted dual track system, changing their position 12 times throughout the day. the installation gives a renewed life
to the dutch modernist architect's building. in existence for 58 years and vacant for 40, the national pavilion for the netherlands remains
unused for a majority of the calendar year, only coming to life for the annual art and architecture biennales.

before the pavilion's opening, petra blaisse met with designboom to discuss the intervention. attempting to change the perspective rehabilitation
as conservative renovators, this transforms the structure's experience rather than filling it with objects or starting anew. celebrating its qualities,
the hourly changes create a new situation for visitors, giving wings to the old foundations and shell.

see designboom's coverage of curator ole bouman's concept behind the design and connection to chipperfield's common ground theme here.
