exhibition
Architects Felipe Vera (Chile) and Rahul Merhotra (India) curated this pavilion shown in the Arsenale building of the International Bienale of Architecture 2016 in Venice.

Through a series of textile panels hung from a structure made of bamboo canes, the exhibition brings information about temporary urban-like structures such as religious festivals, refugee camps or mining colonies, and raises questions on the need of permanency of architectural projects.
