Hrvatski paviljon oda je ambijentima suživota divljeg i domaćeg, prirodnog i proizvedenog, živog i neživog. Ishodište projekta je močvarno područje Lonjskog polja gdje kulturni krajolik nastaje stoljetnom simbiozom prirode koja je u stalnoj mijeni i zajednica koje mu se prilagođavaju.
Paviljon uključuje prostornu instalaciju koja pripada bestijariju vidikovaca u Lonjskom polju. Instalacija uključuje fizičke i virtualne segmente izravno povezane s narativom postojeće posjetiteljske infrastrukture u Lonjskom polju, tretirane kao uređaj za razumijevanje veza između prirode i kulture.
Dizajn objekata smještenih u paviljon interpretira stvaralačko iskustvo i tradicionalne zanatske vještine. Karakterizira ga racionalnost u korištenju resursa, dovitljivost u oblikovanju životnog i radnog prostora, alata i okoline. Reorganizaciju prostora posjetitelj može iskusiti kroz interakciju s višefunkcionalnim jedinicama namještaja formirajući nove oblike i funkcije spajanjem ili razdvajanjem prisutnih elemenata.

Pavilion of Croatia – Same as it Ever Was at the 18th International Architecture Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia
The Croatian Pavilion is an ode to the ambiances of coexistence of the wild and the domesticated, natural and fabricated, inanimate and living. It originates from the Lonja Wetlands, where the dynamic environment evolved from centuries of symbioses between the landscape in constant flux and the communities that adapted their lives to it.
The Croatian Pavilion in the Arsenale includes a spatial installation belonging to the bestiarium of observatories in the Lonja Wetlands. The installation includes physical and virtual segments directly tied to the narrative of the existent visitor’s infrastructure in Lonja Wetlands, treated as a device for understanding the connections between nature and culture.
The design of the objects placed in the pavilion interprets the creative experience and traditional craft skills. It is characterized by rational use of resources and ingenuity in shaping living and working spaces, tools, and the environment. Visitors can experience the reorganization of space by interacting with multifunctional furniture units, forming new shapes and functions by connecting or separating the existing elements.
