madrid based andrés jaque architects has developed ‘sweet parliament home’ for the gwangju design biennale 2011. taking place in south korea, the pavilion is designed as a direct response to the current socio-political environment. opposing the preconceived notion that the home is a space of tranquility and removal from the plights of daily life, this exhibition introduces visitors into a charged and stimulating atmosphere. fully engrossed with social tribulations, the home becomes a ground for learning to cope and confront these issues instead of retreating from them. the form is a result of five years of research and generates the ideal gathering space for thought provoking exchanges.
