The Unfolding Pavilion is an exhibition and editorial project by Daniel Tudor Munteanu and Davide Tommaso Ferrando that pops up at major architecture events in previously inaccessible but architecturally significant buildings. On each occasion the Unfolding Pavilion features a different theme inspired by the space it occupies, by means of commissioned original works that react to it and to its wider cultural-historic background. The Unfolding Pavilion doesn't necessarily care about the hosting event's theme. It lets its occupied space inspire its own. Without a good exhibition space (of the finest architectural making), the Unfolding Pavilion doesn't have any reason to exist. Like any pop-up, the Unfolding Pavilion only lasts for a short but intense period of time. After closing its doors, its activity unfolds online with a continuously updated stream of content. Once the hosting event closes, the Unfolding Pavilion's website is archived and a book documenting (and retroactively critiquing) the whole process is published. After that, the Unfolding Pavilion begins again at another major architecture event, occupying another space and turning to another topic. In its 2016 iteration, the Unfolding Pavilion enters Ignazio Gardella's Casa alle Zattere from the 26th to the 31st of May 2016, on the occasion of the opening of the 15th International Architecture Exhibition at the Biennale di Venezia, converting one of its apartments in a temporary gallery of works made by some of the most unique authors of architecture-related curated archives.
