Sonnets in Babylon

On the 14th international architecture exhibition, the Venice pavilion hosted ‘Sonnets in Babylon’ an installation by Daniel Libeskind at the Venice Pavilion in Venice Biennial, Italy.  Some 100 exhibited drawings by Libeskind, created by hand from pen and sepia-toned washes of coffee, comprised the principal element of the pavilion.  The series were screen-printed by Lasvit. The architectural glass-maker, used a ceramic process on large-scale glass panels, and arranged them around the curved wall of the pavilion.   Libeskind used state of the art technology and ribbons of aluminum panels,  fixed with discreet LED lights.   Libeskind created a spectacular luminous wall of light and transparency  The drawings of Libeskind depict explosive uncoupling's of ambiguous forms, futuristic cities, mechanical parts, and parts of the human body.  Libeskind extends these forms into the room environment through the diaphanous layering of glass, creating a continuous landscape.

STUDIO MORISON facilitates their practice and the projects that flow from it. Artists Heather and Ivan Morison designed a Giant Pink Pineapple to attract visitors to fundraiser for restoration of Berrington Hall's walled garden.  The construction called Look! Look! Look! is enclosed within a walled garden, designed by Georgian landscape designer Lancelot 'Capability' Brown.   The duo created a contemporary version of the 'eye-catchers' featured in 18th-19th-century landscaping.    The duo's idea was to create a pavilion similar to Georgian tented summer garden structures. Heather and Ivan Morison wanted to create a contemporary focus within the gardens time capsule, where old meets new harm
