ARTER is producing the “Vivre avec / Living with” project, imagined by architects Dominique Jakob and Brendan MacFarlane, in association with Martin Duplantier and Éric Daniel-Lacombe, for the French pavilion at the 19th Biennale di Venezia International Architecture Exhibition.

In a world marked by ecological, climatic and social upheavals, “Vivre avec / Living with” questions the place of architecture in contemporary mutations. As the French Pavilion is temporarily closed for restoration and thermal adaptation work, the exhibition is grafted onto the scaffolding and takes over its immediate surroundings, becoming the very embodiment of the concept of “Vivre avec / Living with”: living with one’s environment, one’s landscape, one’s milieu. The construction site has become an integral part of the architectural, scenographic and sensory experience offered to visitors.

ARTER is pleased to ensure the associate production of this exhibition for the French Institute.
