<\/p>\n

The Latvian pavilion, \u201cTogether and Apart\u201d looks at apartment buildings in relation to architecture\u2019s role in organizing the society. It examines how this architectural typology generates ways of living together and apart \u2014 with one another,\u00a0the market, and the state.<\/p>\n

The exhibition is the result of a study of housing and nation building of the Latvian state. During its 100\u2013year\u2013long history, Latvia has undergone several fundamental political and economic transformations that have employed housing\u00a0as a means of reform.<\/p>\n

Today, despite being one of the most sparsely populated regions of Europe, nearly two thirds of Latvians live in apartment buildings which is the highest ratio in Europe. Whilst the tendency in politics is to withdraw from the housing question, the exhibition aims to highlight it as an architectural, but also a political, economic and an ecological project.<\/p>\n

Specifically, the exhibition actualises socioeconomic transformations in relation to apartment buildings: \u201cDistance\u201d portrays proximities between individual spheres that emerge as a consequence of demographic shifts; \u201cPromise\u201d looks at the apartment\u00a0building as a political project; \u201cWarmth\u201d\u00a0explores the relation between energy consumption, geopolitics, and collective decision making; \u201cSelf\u201d deals with the individual apartment as a subject of private property,\u00a0and the limitations of it.<\/p>\n

The research is presented through conceptual models, archival materials and a photography series depicting the multitude of apartment buildings found in Latvia today. This is accompanied by a book \u201cTogether and Apart\u201d, opening up the topic for further study.<\/p>\n
