Facing Gaia is presented in conjunction with the exhibition “Time Space Existence” at the Venice Architectural Biennale. The tower is located in the Giardini della Marinaressa, a public park adjacent to the entrance of the Giardini of Biennale Reminiscent of ancient forms while employing advanced materials, the project explores the continuum of time, space and existence through the relationship between the planet and humanity.

Standing at 12-meters-tall at the edge of the Adriatic Sea, the gleaming white, monolithic tower is bisected by a floating amorphous void. The undulating mirror-finished space in between represents the infinite and the finite, the possible and the impossible, while reflecting the surrounding gardens, water and pedestrians.
