Luxembourg Pavilion at 2027 Venice Biennale to Explore Overconsumption of Living Space

The Luxembourg Pavilion at the 2027 Venice Architecture Biennale will feature an exhibition titled "Excess! On the Overconsumption of Living Space." The exhibition will be curated by housing expert Céline Zimmer and architects Bùi Quý Sơn and Paul-Antoine Lucas.

The exhibition addresses inequitable living space distribution as a reflection of excess contributing to housing and ecological crises. It will use a dialogue between Luxembourg and Vietnam to illustrate this.

Luxembourg's housing is split between a high-cost private market and a regulated public sector. "Excess!" will examine growth implications against finite resources, considering Luxembourg's high per capita housing floor area.

The pavilion will share space with Vietnam, contrasting Luxembourg's wealth with Vietnam's rapid economic growth.

The curatorial team aims to foster conversations using expertise in housing systems, social justice, and queer theory in architecture.

Bùi Quý Sơn and Paul-Antoine Lucas co-founded Exutoire, recognized for underrepresented perspectives. Céline Zimmer focuses on housing affordability and cooperative models.

The jury included curators from the 2025 Luxembourg Pavilion and various architectural institutions.

The 2027 Biennale runs May 8-November 21, 2027. Other pavilions will explore coexistence, displacement, and reuse.
