The exhibition ‘Lay of the Land’ was designed for the Israeli Pavilion at the HABITAT III, the United Nations Conference on housing and Sustainable Urban Development, which took place in Quito in Ecuador in October 2016.
The 40sq meter surface of the pavilion walls were designed as a wall survey. A scaled city comprised of different urban spatial typologies was built on those walls, and the visitors were invited to choose a figure and pin it on their favorite spot in the city. This way the walls functioned as a continuous visual survey of urban qualities.
