Freedome

If creativity is what fueled design, it is hope that fueled utopias.

At the dawn of the end of colonialism and the rise of nuclear tension, in 1955, 29 African and Asian countries gathered in Bandung, Indonesia, to re-think the world's way of living. They represent more than half of the world's population at that time; and despite their ideological differences, they stood together as equals and agreed upon a 10 points principle . This principle, later known as "The Bandung Charter", is a principle of international conducts that promotes world peace and cooperation among nations in the world.
For these countries, it was a start of a new world, in the middle of an establishments with power and influence, that has colonised and controlled their lives. The hope for a better world where peace and respect towards each other is upheld more than anything, was the motivation; the dream of sovereign nations where they can determine their own fate, free of interventions was the dream.

The "Freedome" pavilion was conceived not only to remember the utopia that was once a dream of our forefathers, but also to speculate about the future had that utopian dream live a little bit longer, and the idea that came from it grew a little bit bigger.
