Enjoy the View

A site-specific installation of a 8 metre by 1.2 metre wide strip of translucent concrete. The installation, entitled, enjoy the view‘ was shown in the international section of Venice Architectural Biennale (2010). Ebner was one of thirty-seven other participants selected by the binnale Director Kazuyo Sejima. The installation is significant in the the history of Venice Architectural Biennale for incorporating and constructing a new material that had not previously been used in a public domain. The installation was designed and produced in Mexico, which involved several material testing stages prior to being installed at Venice. Ebner’s design was transcribed into a wooden cast using 3D milling machines. The casting of the translucent concrete was stiffended by the reinforcement of galss-fibre. A review of Enjoy the View was conducted by Hans Ulrich Obrist during an interview with Peter Ebner and Friends at the Venice Architecture Biennale 2010 .
