104. Site Repair

26/5/2018

 
Building sites must be considered as living eco-systems. Therefore, buildings must always be built on land in the worst condition, leaving the areas that are the most beautiful, precious and healthy as they are. Site repair deals with the problem of how to minimise damage. The most talented builders are not only able to use the built form to avoid damage, but also to improve the natural landscape. (Alexander 1977) 

Repair, Australian Pavilion

Vennice Bieannle 2018
'Repair' aims “to stimulate discussion of core architectural values” and to validate the “relevance of architecture on this dynamic planet.” There is an interest in “going beyond the visual” to dwell upon the relationships architecture can make, frame and reveal between ourselves, where we live, how we live, and with nature. ​Since we have been making buildings and cities in Australia it has mostly been to separate us from our position as human beings in the natural environment.
​
​The consequences of the disregard of natural systems are now being felt and there is a shift in thinking among the built environment as a meaningful and enduring framework for urban form – an expression of the natural environment in a sort of reverse order of urban sprawl.  In order to consider the consequences and potentials of architecture in relation to repair, we need to focus on this very elemental factor first. ​
