# Transitional Finnish Pavilions 'The Resilient of Architecture' Exhibit Stands the Test of Time By Vasiliki Marapas | Published 2014-06-16 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-resilient-of-architecture References: [dezeen](http://www.dezeen.com/2014/06/14/finnish-pavilion-venice-architecture-biennale-2014/) & [oopeaa](http://oopeaa.com/) Architect Anssi Lassila's contribution to the Venice Architecture Biennale 2014 is titled 'The Resilient of Architecture,' and consists of two huts located outside of the Finnish Pavilion. The first is constructed out of [spruce wood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paviljong-rosendal), while the second is made from bamboo. The project aims to explore the relationship between form and material in architecture. Though the hut is primitive in its design, it features the use of Finnish materials and building techniques. Ole Bouman, the creative director of the [Fifth Shenzhen](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sekra) and [Hong Kong Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism/Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ar-message-concept), explains, "It goes through a process of cultural translation. The core of architecture survives but the way it survives is completely different." The message behind Lassila's project is ultimately that timeless techniques can be relied upon, but the results will morph according to exterior influences. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 42% | Activity: 34% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Resilient Architecture:** Exploring the relationship between form and material in architecture to find timeless techniques. - **Primitive Design:** Using primitive design elements and techniques to create contemporary and sustainable architecture. - **Cultural Translation:** Transforming traditional architecture through cultural translation. ### Where This Applies - **Architecture:** There is an opportunity to create sustainable and contemporary architecture by exploring the relationship between form and material. - **Construction:** Using sustainable techniques and materials to create primitive designs can be an opportunity for the construction industry. - **Design:** Building architecture that undergoes cultural translation by incorporating local techniques and materials could be an opportunity for the design industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Nomadic Community-Themed Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/girjegumpi-the-smi-architecture-library.md) - [Living Structure-Based Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canada-pavilion.md) - [Pointy Paper Lantern Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-lantern-pavilion.md) - [Timber Alpine Shelters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selfsufficient-bivouac.md) - [Serene Waterfront Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lake-house-life-experience-pavilion.md) - [Timber Modern Porch Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/porch-an-architecture-of-generosity.md) - [Minimalist Wooden Figures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimalist-wooden-figures.md) - [Earth-Filled Heritage Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brazil-pavilion.md) - [Lily-Shaped Reusable Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/srivan.md)
