Vacant NL


Held at the Dutch Pavilion at Venice Architecture Biennale 2010, the installation 'vacant NL' (a blue-foam model city suspended above visitors in the top half of the pavilion) calls upon the dutch government to make use of the enormous potential of inspiring, temporarily vacant buildings from the past five centuries for innovation within the creative knowledge economy.
