The strategic plan for the Vesdre catchment area

The strategic plan for the Vesdre catchment area, carried out by the Studio Paola Vigano design office, the University of Liège and Yello Window as part of a public contract awarded by the Walloon Public Service following the floods of 2021, is one of the international projects - along with Make it Rain - that will be presented in the French Pavilion at the forthcoming Venice Architecture Biennale.

Vivre avec / Living with, curated by Jakob+Macfarlane, Dominique Jakob and Brendan MacFarlane, in collaboration with Martin Duplantier Architects and Eric Daniel Lacombe

Vivre avec / Living with will be a temporary, lightweight structure built from reused materials, situated within the grounds of the French Pavilion, which is undergoing renovation. Designed as an inclusive and interactive space, it will function as an exhibition venue, meeting point, and discussion forum, incorporating contributions from both French and international architectural schools. The lightweight structure emphasizes porosity and coexistence with the existing pavilion restoration site, creating an open and collaborative environment, as a laboratory for exhibitions, encounters, and discussions.
