🌴Exploring The British Pavilion: Vena Cava 🌴

The Palm House at Kew Gardens was the beating heart of the British botanical empire.

The structure itself is left empty, effectively turning the Palm House inside out, probing the possibility of a reparative architecture emerging from the rhythms of material life-cycles and their politics of ecological restitution.

🪨 Exploring The British Pavilion: Shimoni Slave Cave 🪨

Cave_bureau spoke with the local custodians of the coral caves in Shimoni. They recounted how the caves were used as slave holding chambers.

These were used to create the rattan weave structure, the undulating forms of which exactly follow those of the cave at a scale of 1:1, reimagining a space of trauma as one of repair and healing.
