The Nordic Pavilion at the Venice Architecture Biennale has been filled with huge inflatable blobs that slowly expand and contract in response to changing environmental conditions.
The exhibition, called Another Generosity, aims to explore the relationship between nature and the built environment. Curators Eero Lundén and Juulia Kauste wanted to show how humans can start to create architecture that is symbiotic with the environment.

They have installed four huge inflatables ? designed to look like cells ? inside the pavilion, with sensors that monitor the surrounding carbon-dioxide levels, humidity and temperature.
The cells "breathe" in response to these environmental conditions. They either fill or empty themselves of air, depending on the carbon-dioxide levels, and change colour to indicate temperature differences.
"Essentially what we're doing here is we have structures that live according to the changes in their environment, like me and you do," Lundén told Dezeen. "So they breathe."
"They breathe differently in different conditions," he explained. "And then the colours change according to the temperature. They have a little bit of their own life. The original idea was that we wanted to make something that is close to an animal."
"It's this idea about reestablishing a relationship with architecture, because quite often we see buildings and that's it."
The cells could also be filled partially with water...
