It’s How You Physically Construct a Mirage [Architecture]

A mirage-you know, like an imagined oasis after you’re crawling through a never-ending desert. Or like the phantasmal barge, wrought from 32 a whole lot welded wire mesh, that’s floating inside the lagoons of Venice at present.

That second mirage is de facto Croatia’s pavilion for the Venice Biennale, a recent art event that happens every odd year. It was designed by 14 leading Croatian architects, who formed 30 a lot of wire into 40 sinuous layers to create a form of architectural Fata Morgana .

I’m not quite sure, but I believe this pavilion might edge out the Shanghai Expo Seed Cathedral as the architectural work which most makes me question the integrity of space-time fabric. [ Pavilion.hr via Arch Daily ]
