HOME is a spectacular earth and plaster experience of place. Presented by the three appointed Creative Directors of the Australia Pavilion at La Biennale di Venezia 2025, in collaboration with a broader group of First Nations practitioners, the exhibition highlights the power of collaborative design, encouraging architects to move beyond traditional Western hierarchies by relating with each other and sharing stories.
Visitors to the pavilion walk across the sand, leaving their footprints, to reach a gently curved seat wall. We were honoured to provide our Clayworks rammed earth finish, chosen in custom colours to reflect local soil.
HOME has brought together 125 architecture and design students from eleven universities in the largest School of Architecture collaboration in Australia, expanding understandings of First Nations cultural practices through memory, identity and materiality.
