"Gone with the Fog" by UK-based architect Leo Sooseok Kim of MEDIUS Architects recently won first place in ArchTriumph's Venice Biennale Pavilion 2013 competition this past August.
[...] the structure also reflects the concept of sfumato -- meaning the pavilion doesn't look obstructive against the scenery of Venice and the St. Marco Square. At the same time, visitors on the observation deck are given clear views of the scenery around them.

Why block the perfect view of the sea?
this winning project would probably get the first boot by Venice officials.. Seems like he just decided to scrap what architects worked on to achieve through generations around the Piazza.
That titular nod to the Civil War South (fog > wind) just seems odd...
