Søren Pihlmann, the curator for the Danish Pavilion at the 2025 Venice Architecture Biennale, presents the exhibition 'Build of Site,' which emphasizes sustainable architecture through the reuse of materials. Pihlmann aims to transform the pavilion into an active space for material experimentation, focused on showcasing techniques that utilize recycled and bio-based elements. This initiative not only promotes sustainability but also reflects the ethos of Pihlmann's firm, which works with existing resources, illustrating new potentials in architectural practice and encouraging a shift towards resourcefulness and creativity in design.
"I hope that's the main takeaway for architects and people visiting this pavilion, that they can truly see the potential in diving deep into our existing buildings and materials..." - Søren Pihlmann
The pavilion serves as both a real renovation site and a conceptual laboratory, showcasing how architectural practice can prioritize reuse and adaptation without relying on new materials.
Pihlmann's proposal transforms the existing Danish Pavilion into an active exhibition space for material experimentation, highlighting recycled and bio-based elements.
This approach aligns with the ethos of his Copenhagen-based firm, Pihlmann Architects, which works primarily with existing resources.
