The twentieth century has seen the rapid growth of information technology, erasing the demarcation of nations. But with the fading of lines between nations, the world has rapidly turned into another more powerful system. In this system, "Fast" is the latest fad of mainstream ideas. Yet the notions of "fast" and "slow" do not run along parellel lines engaging in mutual criticism and clamor; instead they co-exist by playing tug-of-war. And so we are curious: against the backdrop of such rapid changes, how do we slow down to quietly savor this interesting new era?The Taiwan Pavilion for the Venice Architecture Biennale 2010 is themed "Take a ------------- Break". We hope to provide conditons that allow the audience to interact with the works, so that the audience can be involved in the creation of the works and their meanings. We wish to move beyond the one-way interpretation of architecture, and try to redefine space as it means to the individual by considering the user's activities. The empahsis is that the exhibition itself is a reflection on architecture. The Taiwan Pavilion has created an inflated exhibition space with images of Taiwan; when visitors step into the Palazzo delle Prigioni they embark on a journey of rethinking architecture.An exhibited work should not be interpreted in isolation, without taking into consideration the exhibition's objectives, and the relationship between the visitors and the venue. By doing so the visitor will be able to gain insights into the multi-layered significance of the exhibition, and thus make the visit meaningful. As a significant international architectural event, the 2010 Venice Architecture Biennale is itself a fluid territory. Instead of alienating ourselves from the special venue we have attempted to present our theme in contemplation of the Biennale. The Biennale is a densely packed event, and we hope to create an exhibition where the speed of visits is contrary to the other exhibitions. Our aim is not to critizise the efficiency and speed of the post-industrial world through a single set of values, but to attempt to reflect upon the alternative values brought on by the extreme development.The 12th Venice Architecture Biennale's main proposition is that a work should depart from its reconstructed scene and return to its intrinsic quality. The meaning of architecture should be revealed and established by the viewer's interpretation. The intrinsic value of a work however, is not something that is fixed and unchangeable, instead it is fluid. We have transformed the interior of the Palazzo delle Prigioni with horizontal platforms and vertical elongated balloons, creating an atmosphere that is both ambiguous and vague. The visitor can then depend on his own instincts to interpret the space, and to occupy the space. The several screens in the exhibition show scenes from Taiwan, and the images serve to display another creative aspect by providing structure. The visitor is given the right to construct the meanings that arise from these images. Thus the images continuously inspire a diversity of meanings, and the visitor enters a huge and complex system of interpretations.What the Taiwan Pavilion "Take a ---------- Break" of the 12th Venice Architecture Biennale wishes to express is not the phenomena of Taiwan, but the present situation of the entire humanity.
