Time Space Existence 2025: A Collective Call to Repair, Regenerate, and Reuse
The next chapter of the biennial architecture exhibition Time Space Existence is set to take place from 10 May to 23 November 2025, with press previews and opening events on 8 and 9 May. Organised by the European Cultural Centre (ECC) across its iconic venues — Palazzo Bembo, Palazzo Mora, and the Marinaressa Gardens –, the seventh edition of the show brings together 207 participants from over 52 countries, reaffirming Venice as a global platform for architectural dialogue and experimentation.
International architects, designers, artists, academics, and researchers are invited to respond to the themes of Repair, Regenerate, and Reuse. Showcasing a diverse range of works spanning disciplines, scales, and cultural contexts, the exhibition addresses some of the most pressing environmental, social, and cultural challenges of our time. United by the idea that architecture has both the responsibility and the power to shape a better future, Time Space Existence highlights the vital role of architects and designers as agents of positive change, leading the way toward more sustainable, inclusive, and regenerative ways of living.

Rachele De Stefano, Head of Architecture at ECC Italy, shares:
We all know the built environment plays a huge role in environmental damage. However, it also holds immense potential to become a driving force for positive transformation. This year, we are building on the narrative of our previous edition by encouraging participants to go even further, showcasing projects, ideas, and reflections on how architecture can adopt a regenerative approach. This means prioritising repair and embracing reuse as a fundamental principle of contemporary practice.

Architecture as an Agent of Environmental and Social Repair
This year’s iteration of the show moves beyond merely questioning how to build more sustainably; it seeks to showcase tangible applications, seeing architecture as a force for environmental and social repair. The projects presented go further than theoretical discussions, offering tangible, real-world strategies rooted in adaptive reuse, material innovation, and community-led initiatives. From the transformation of existing structures to projects that reconnect communities with their cultural and ecological heritage, the works on display demonstrate how architecture can actively contribute to healing and regeneration. Alongside built projects and practical solutions, the exhibition embraces speculative proposals, academic research, and visionary concepts that imagine bold new futures. These contributions challenge conventional boundaries and present architecture as a discipline capable of driving systemic, positive change — fostering dialogue on how we can move towards a more regenerative, equitable, and resilient world.
