In parallel to the exhibition, a publication entitled “�ird Natures. A Micropedia” was launched. �e book is like the younger sister of the Encyclopedia, it also tries to construct and describe a body of knowledge, or in this case a very particular way of understanding the world around us. It gathers de�nitions and texts referred to key words and concepts that de�ne the conceptual framework of AMID.cero9 practice and also depicts the projects as tools to de�ne new realms for our discipline.

Selected Projects



The Cherry Tree Blossom Pavilion was selected by Kazuyo Sejima to be exhibited at the International Pavilion of the 12th Biennale di Architectura di Venecia, “People Meet in Architecture”. The Biennale was held from August 29th to November 21st, 2010.In the exhibition space AMID.cero9 recreates the scenario of the modern chapel that the Cherry Blossom Pavilion wishes to be. Dark and mist pictures on old golden frames, videos, models, and a particular smell that will sure remind us and bring us back to our ecclesiastical memories will build the perfect scenery to the main item exhibited. The Cherry Blossom Pavilion is nowadays under construction and the building will be ready to enjoy it in the coming Cherry Blossom festival by next year.

The Cherry Blossom Pavilion is also part of Itinerant exhibition “A City called Spain” that started at the National Glyptotheque in Athens, Greece. May 20 - August 29, 2010. Next winter 2011 this exhibition will take place in Moscow.
