Bungalow Germania. German Pavilion at Venice Architecture Biennale 2014

Bungalow Germania is the title of this year's German contribution to the 14th International Architecture Exhibition -- la Biennale di Venezia. Created by the architects Alex Lehnerer and Savvas Ciriacidis, the exhibition combines two buildings of national and historical importance: the Kanzlerbungalow (Chancellor Bungalow) in Bonn, and the German Pavilion itself. Each from a different eras of German history, they represent two political systems, and two architectural languages, and both were instrumentalized by their owners as a statement on nationhood or as a promise to the nation.

Alex Lehnerer and Savvas Ciriacidis investigate the two buildings and their relationship to each other by placing a replica of the Chancellor Bungalow inside the German Pavilion in Venice. By doing this, the installation connects ideas and moments in time, and opens up a spectrum of associations.

This video provides you with a walk-through of the exhibition, including a short excerpt of the tour Alex Lehnerer and Savvas Ciriacidis gave on one of the preview days. An detailed interview with the architects is coming soon.
