Pavilion of Turkey at the 15th International Architecture Exhibition, la Biennale di Venezia

A vessel, perhaps the last to be built in a deserted and desolate volti (shipshed) of Istanbul arsenal, was cut into pieces, to travel to Venice and then to be re-mounted in Sale d’Armi, in a volti of similar proportions. This vessel carries the stories of a common heritage, to initiate an architectural encounter and to transform the frontiers of the past and present into thresholds and zones of negotiation for projections of future.
