Event Details

The European Cultural Centre(ECC) has announced an exciting new chapter for its Time Space Existence exhibition - the seventh edition of the biennial architecture event scheduled to return to Venice from 10 May to 23 November 2025. The renowned venues of Palazzo Bembo, Palazzo Mora, and Marinaressa Gardens will once again be transformed to showcase innovative projects and foster global dialogue within the architectural community.
 
An international and diverse group of architects, urban planners, designers, academic institutions, and multidisciplinary creatives will unite to explore new approaches to living and rethink architecture from a broader perspective. Time Space Existence will provide professionals with the opportunity to present ongoing projects, innovative proposals, and visionary concepts of architectural expression. Serving as a dynamic platform, the exhibition aims to function as a living workshop, where established and emerging practitioners collaborate to share their insights on the current state of architecture and the built environment.
 
Urgency to Repair, Regenerate, and Reuse 
The 2025 iteration of the show will investigate the urgency to Repair, Regenerate, and Reuse. Practitioners are invited to take into consideration the current global needs, to develop solutions that are led by environmental consciousness. It is essential to adopt a circular approach to reduce the environmental impact of the building and construction industry. This perspective advocates for a shift toward practices that prioritise reuse, repair, and regeneration, fostering a more harmonious relationship with our planet’s ecosystems. 
 
Additionally, by drawing inspiration from indigenous architectural practices, which often embody principles of sustainability, resourcefulness, and respect for the natural environment; architects, designers, engineers, and planners are called upon to leverage their creative influence and advocacy skills to drive critical changes, promoting the development of a sustainable and regenerative built environment. Time Space Existence 2025 will serve as a dynamic platform for showcasing these projects and research through architectural models, site-specific installations, and exhibits featuring innovative materials. 
 
Historical venues in the heart of Venice 
Time Space Existence is set to take place in three historical venues in the heart of Venice. Palazzo Mora - a 300-year-old Venetian palace, Palazzo Bembo - a 15th-century venue facing the Grand Canal, and The Marinaressa Gardens, situated near Piazza San Marco and overlooking the lagoon, resulting in the perfect canvas for installations that seamlessly harmonise with the natural landscape. 
 
Global discourse 
With its rich cultural heritage and forward-looking spirit of innovation, Venice 2025 will stand as one of the most important destinations on the global stage. Participants of Time Space Existence will join a worldwide community of architects, critics, and scholars, all contributing to the international discourse shaping the future of architecture.
