The following depicts the voyage of Iowa State University design students who were part of a performance in the 2014 Venice Architecture Biennale. Their task, to contribute in a three day workshop and colloquim, hosted by Iowa State University’s architecture program, at the ‘Arsenale’ grounds in Venice, Italy. During the workshop, the students were to study and explore ‘the floor’, one of the fundamental ‘elements of architecture’ proposed by Biennale curator and architect Rem Koolhaas.
