the 'sideways' installation featured in the czech and slovak pavillion invited visitors to taste architecture
and food. based on the idea of human needs the pavillion is filled up with identical fridges that contain
various foods. each carry records of socio urban research mapping the fridges and its users' interactions
while they inhabit various apartments and houses in slovakia.

created by zerozero untd the 'sideways' installation poses questions and searches for answers in realms
of non-architecture. is it possible to gain access to more current, authentic information on our individual habits,
desires, expectations and abilities by analyzing our needs? where can architects learn more and how can
they react better to our rapidly changing world? what is and and what might be an architecture beyond building
today?
