CATEGORY: SOUL OF CITY
PROJECT: EVERYTHING FLOWS
Everything Flows is a marble pavilion that explores fundamental architectural concerns of inside and outside. The design begins with an exuded square plan with whose interior is divided with into four equal sections. These geometric operations create a series of distinct interior rooms which are also interconnected.
THESE CRUCIFORM WALLS ARE PUNCTURED WITH AN ARCHED OPENING AT THEIR INTERSEC-TION TO FORM A VAULTED CENTRE SPACE. THE OUTER CORNERS OF THE PAVILION ARE DIAGONALLY SLICED TO CREATE FOUR OPENINGS
The varying use of marble – as three dimensional form, as flat polished surface, monochromatic and polychromatic – creates variation in sensation, as if the architecture itself began to take on the geologic quality of stone. Here, the abstracted ‘rough’ exterior contains a polished ‘cultured’ interior as if architecture was discovered fossilised within the body of the rock like an inside out cave.
SAM JACOB STUDIO
The Sam Jacob Studio’s work explores the relationship between architecture and the world around us, developing new relationships between contemporary approaches, history and culture.
The studio is led by Sam Jacob whose work has been published and exhibited internationally including at the Venice Architecture Biennale in 2016 and 2014 (where he was co-curator of the British Pavilion), Spaces Without Drama at the Graham Foundation (2017), Chicago, A Very Small Part of Architecture in Highgate Cemetery (2016), and a forthcoming project for the 2017 Chicago Biennial.
Jacob is Professor of Architecture at UIC, Chicago and Visiting Professor at Yale School of Architecture. He is columnist and critic for Dezeen and Art Review as well as Contributing Editor for Icon magazine.

In recent years, stone has become the protagonist of numerous emblematic contemporary works and has significantly influenced the thinking of designers and the evolution of current architectural languages. The introduction of sophisticated processing technologies has also enabled sustainable application as well as helping to promote new levels of expression.
The exhibition Soul of City explores possible visions of contemporary cities through stone. This research project into the use of natural stone interprets the topic of the 2017 UIA which took place in Seoul. Seven international design studies combined with Italian companies in the natural stone sector take up the challenge of this material from an architectural point of view in order to represent their ideas for cities.
