Serbian Pavilion features bright blue interior modelled on a ship's hull
Venice Architecture Biennale 2016: a curving, bright blue structure reminiscent of a boat fills the inside of Serbia's Biennale pavilion ? to symbolise young architects' difficult crusade to find employment.
Entitled Heroic: Free Shipping, the exhibition is created by young Belgrade-based architects Stefan Vasic, Ana Sulkic and Igor Sjeverac.
The trio describe the show as a "moment of total passion and youthful enthusiasm to expose our own insecurities" about the difficulties in finding work in architecture's present job market.
The hull-like interior, which recalls the Biblical tale of Noah's ark, is constructed from plywood and oriented strand board, and coated in a layer of ultramarine blue resin.

A soundtrack of clattering keyboards fills the space, while 28 plug sockets are installed along the curved edges of the installation ? both intended to pay tribute to the hard work of architects across the country.
"Project Heroic: Free Shipping puts the architectural profession into focus, by reporting from its own ranks regarding the problematic contemporary social position of architecture and noting the necessity of finding new possibilities for action," they said.
"A joint sailing route is presented as a possible exit from the front of the omnipresent feeling of systemic constriction and anxiety."
