Pylon of Permanence Showcases Water-Filled Glass at the Venice Architecture Biennale 2025

At the 2025 Venice Architecture Biennale, the installation Pylon of Permanence presents Water-Filled Glass (WFG), a glazing system developed to address the environmental impact of glass in the built environment. Although glass is one of the most widely used construction materials, its embodied and operational carbon footprint surpasses that of concrete, steel, and brick. Water-Filled Glass proposes an alternative approach by transforming glass from a passive enclosure into an active energy regulator.

Villa Vy / Studio Ida Tinning

Nestled among windswept pines and exposed granite outcrops, Villa Vy is a finely tuned response to its dramatic setting in the Stockholm Archipelago.

The name Vy, meaning "view" in Swedish, reflects the project's central idea: to frame and elevate the experience of the surrounding landscape and its extraordinary vistas.
