Exhibition at the Collegium:
Interfacial Aesthetics
From Earth to Space
Just weeks after previewing their innovative work in Zurich at the Collegium, the LiquiFab team has taken center stage at the prestigious Venice Architecture Biennale, participating in the European Cultural Centre's Time Space Existence exhibition, which runs from May to November 2025.
The interdisciplinary team—led by Erez Hochman, with support from Aaron Sprecher and Moran Bercovici, senior fellow at the Collegium and professor at Technion—is presenting a groundbreaking vision for architectural fabrication in zero-gravity environments. Their work, at the intersection of fluid dynamics, material science, and design, explores how surface tension in weightless conditions can be harnessed to shape liquid polymers into highly complex, perfectly smooth 3D structures—forms that would be impossible to fabricate using traditional terrestrial methods.
Visitors to the Venice exhibition are treated to physical LiquiFab elements alongside exclusive video footage of experiments conducted in simulated microgravity and aboard the International Space Station. These demonstrations not only highlight the scientific ingenuity behind the project but also hint at a future where architectural components could be “grown” in space, expanding the frontier of sustainable design and construction beyond Earth.
The team's participation in Venice follows a special preview exhibition at the Collegium Helveticum in Zurich in March–April, where their work was showcased in the lead-up to the Biennale. This earlier event offered Swiss audiences a first look at LiquiFab’s novel techniques and marked an early step on the path to international recognition.
As part of the Time Space Existence exhibition in Venice, LiquiFab offers a compelling vision for the future of architecture—where space becomes both site and medium. Their project not only challenges how we think about construction but also redefines the relationship between gravity, material, and form in architectural innovation.
