venice architecture biennale 08: next-gene 20 - toshiko mori


the main pavillion of 'the flexivilla'

'flexivilla' was designed by japanese architect toshiko mori for the next-gene 20 project. the house is based
on three separate pavillions; the main pavillion, garden pavillion and water/pool pavillion. the layout allows
for flexibility as each pavillion can be arranged in various ways according to the site conditions. sustainability
has been intergrated into the 'flexivilla' design. the house is oriented to the east to take advantage of the view
and allow for cross ventilation. local material such as bamboo is used both as formwork for the concrete as
well as interior finishes.
