Venice Biennale — A World of Fragile Parts

Biennale di Venezia ·Architecture Exhibition ·2016 ·Sale d'Armi Pavilion, Arsenale

For the Architecture Biennale's Special Projects we gave form to an installation devoted to the fragility of heritage: a system of casts, replicas and display supports designed to be read up close.

Every element was designed, engineered and pre-assembled in our Jesolo workshops, then transported and installed in the Arsenale with our own staff and vehicles. The result is a hall where material, light and silence converse with the existing architecture.

Project note

“Fragility is not hidden: it is protected, lit and told. Every detail of the fit-out exists to serve the work, never to impose upon it.”

Full pre-assembly in the workshop before shipping

From workshop to site

Full pre-assembly in the workshop let us verify tolerances, finishes and lighting before arriving in the lagoon, minimising installation time in a constrained historic space.

The Tosetto installation team completed the fit-out with absolute respect for the Arsenale architecture, leaving the space intact at the end of the exhibition.
