January - May 2016
ORGANIZING INSTITUTION: Global Art Affairs Foundation, The European Cultural Centre
The European Cultural Centre exhibition "TIME - SPACE - EXISTENCE"
The Assistant Professorship Dirk E. Hebel is exhibiting a view into the laboratory entitled “Daring Growth” at this year’s Venice Biennale. As part of the official collateral event TIME-SPACE-EXISTENCE, curated by the Global Art Affairs (GAA) Foundation at the Palazzo Mora, the exhibition will report from the front of research on the potential of cultivated materials for the building industry. Everyone is welcome to join the opening party on 26th and 27th May, 6 to 10pm at the Palazzo Mora.
In the context of the 15th International Architecture Exhibition of la Biennale di Venezia 2016, the European Cultural Centre presents its exhibition "TIME-SPACE-EXISTENCE" in two of its prestigious Palazzi in Venice, Palazzo Bembo and Palazzo Mora.
Time Space and Existence are the most fundamental themes of mankind. We would like to acknowledge that all human discoveries and achievements, be it in science, art or any other discipline, should lead to a greater awareness about our existence, the existence of all matter and our position within time and space. Architecture, of the past and of today, forces us to consider and re-consider.
“Daring Growth”
‘Time-Space-Existence’, Palazzo Mora – Prof. Dirk Hebel
The research group led by Dirk Hebel is calling for a radical paradigm shift towards decentralised, local and renewable production strategies. This is the only way to ensure the efficient use of energy and raw materials. In the ‘Daring Growth’ exhibition, the group teams up with the company MycoWorks, and engineers and geoscientists from TU Delft to highlight the potential of alternative building materials such as bamboo, mycelium, bacteria, grasses and waste.
See the separate Factsheet (ETH Link) or the local Factsheet (Pdf) for more information.
Duties and responsibilities in this Project as Junior Research Assitant at the Chair: exhibition-site recognition and recording at the Palazzo Mora, conceptual and content design, technical drawing and offer inquiry of bamboo turned part and bamboo cellular beam, 3d-modeling and milling (RhinoCAM-MILL, MultiCam Mill), post-processing.
