Earth Compass
A selection of works taken from the award-winning British Pavilion exhibition of the Venice Architecture Biennale 2025, GBR - Geology of Britannic Repair.
- Booking not needed
- Free event (admission applies)
The three selected works are:
Earth Compass — A sculptural and spatial installation in the Main Hall re‑centring architecture’s relationship to geology.
Double Vision — A reworking of the striking beaded veil installation that was draped over the British Pavilion making visible the “other earths” that colonisation displaced.
Elements from the Rift Room — Models, drawings and maps emanating from the Great Rift Valley as a conceptual and geological axis for rethinking architecture and repair.
Together, these interpretive pieces extend Vanbrugh 300’s exploration of architecture by connecting British Baroque heritage with globally resonant themes of geology, colonisation, and renewal and consider architecture as a geologic practice.
