Frank Lloyd Wright. Trendciero. Trendciero. Deco. The Museum of Copying by FAT at Venice Architecture Biennale 2012. London studio FAT will create an exhibition dedicated to architectural copying inside a 5-metre-high model of Palladio's Villa Rotunda for the Venice Architecture Biennale 2012 next week. A CNC-cut mould will form one quarter of the historic symmetrical building, while a second will be a spray-foam cast taken from inside it. The two quarters will be arranged opposite one another to create the structure, named the Museum of Copying. "There is a history of copies of the Villa Rotunda that have been important staging posts for architectural culture," explains FAT director Sam Jacob.
"We hope to extend this history and explore how copying something is, strangely, a way of inventing new forms of architecture. " A host of architects including Andrea Branzi, Denise Scott Brown and Jonathan Sergison will exhibit a book filled with photocopies as part of the exhibition and visitors will also be invited to assemble one of their own.

A utopia city for skateboarders would mean that a skateable path, like a ribbon connecting everything together, links each building in an unending ability to keep in motion on your board. The PAS House takes this concept and brings it to life through an architectural project mixing a modern single family home with a skateboard ramp structure – all from an environmentally-driven perspective. The PAS House production will be supervised by Francois Perrin, an architect based in Los Angeles, California.
