Shy Synchrony explores our innate response, individually and collectively, to natural movements, creating a deepened sense of awareness for the singular qualities of all environments we traverse. “Natural movements remind the body of how to adapt and align with our environment,” expressed Lonneke Gordijn, DRIFT artist. “In this time of disconnect and climate crisis, we are in desperate need of aligning with each other to create a vision that will secure the future of our planet.”

Sou Fujimoto’s intended forest-like space invites visitors to interact between the space and the body, allowing them to engage in conversations about the past, present, or future of architecture, and about urban settlements and the natural environment, experimenting with spatial or social qualities in the life-size pavilion.
