“As we dig down into the earth to reach the groundwater, we encounter a diversity of constructed realities such as telephone cables, remains of former foundations or backfills. Like a team of archaeologists, weidentify these physical fragments as the remains of the eleven Pavilions built between 2000 and 2011”

Herzog & de Meuron and Ai Weiwei, (from their Architects’ Statement)
