'Architecture biennials may sometimes get bad press, but they can help provide civic infrastructure – and at the same time become a fertile ground for young practitioners.'

A great article exploring the context of our pavilion, 8-23-VI (in Hungarian)

Nemrég készült el a tbiliszi építészeti biennále első maradandó beavatkozása. A színével a grúz borhagyományra utaló kis pavilon a város egyik hatalmas lakótelepén, egy tömbház bejáratánál kapott helyet és szerepet a koppenhágai Medium tervezésében.

8-23-VI has opened its rotating panels!

Built for the Tbilisi Architecture Biennale, 8-23-VI is a permanent pavilion in the 8th district of the Gldani microrayon.

8-23-VI establishes a dialogue between the semi-private circulation of the adjacent housing block and the surrounding public realm, by extending and activating the threshold between them.

A continuous surface of rotating panels mediates this relationship, redefining it as ambiguous and ever-changing. By inviting interaction and transformation, the pavilion echoes the strategies of appropriation manifested in Gldani's many self-built garages and extensions, but establishes them as a collective practice.

The project is supported by Creative Europe, the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and Tbilisi Architecture Biennial / თბილისის არქიტექტურის ბიენალე. Designed by Medium. Construction - ALL-P Metal / Zviad Chachanidze, Local coordination - Nikusha Lomidze
