SOIL AND PROTOPLASM THE HYLOZOIC GROUND PROJECT

摘要

Housed in the Canadian Pavilion in the Giardini in Venice during the 2010 Architecture Biennale, the Hylozoic Ground project provided visitors with the unique experience of interacting with a responsive and live' textile matrix. Philip Beesley and Rachel Armstrong describe the extraordinary 'soil-less' environment that they collaborated on and how it provides a new model for a synthetic but evolutionary ecology.
