TIME SPACE EXISTENCE 2025

The exhibition organized by the European Cultural Centre returns to Venice for its seventh edition, coinciding with the 19th Architecture Biennale, contributing to the global discussion on architecture with innovative projects hosted in the spaces of Palazzo Bembo, Palazzo Mora, and Giardini della Marinaressa.

As in previous editions, Time Space Existence invites an international group of architects, urban planners, designers, and academic institutions to explore new ways of living and rethinking architecture in today’s context. The exhibition offers the opportunity to present ongoing projects, innovative proposals, and utopian architectural visions, positioning itself as a dynamic platform where established and emerging professionals collaborate to share perspectives on architecture and the built environment. The 2025 edition sees the renewed participation of Holcim, this time in collaboration with Alejandro Aravena and his studio Elemental. Together, they will present a project of resilient, zero-impact housing. Other projects include those by the Canadian studio Henriquez Partners, focused on natural intelligence, and the nonprofit organization Semillas from Lima, presenting a participatory educational project. Additionally, Enter Projects Asia will adopt principles of responsible design using natural materials, aiming to promote sustainable practices and celebrate local craftsmanship.

The exhibition focuses on the urgency of Repairing, Regenerating, and Reusing, with an emphasis on ecological solutions and a circular approach that reduces environmental impact, also exploring indigenous architectural practices that embody principles of sustainability and respect for the environment.
