The exhibition "INCISIONE PER L'ARCHITETTURA –La Porta della città" is the result of the second Engraving Workshop that took place in Spoleto in 2024 following the successful experience of the first Workshop, "The urban facade". The workshop promoted by OFARCH and SPAZIO MTR saw the participation of 19 architects who attended the studios of the artist Maria Teresa Romitelli, creating plates and prints on the theme "La Porta della città" with different engraving techniques.
The architects through the "time of drawing", architectural thought, a synthesis of analysis and projection towards a possible reality, created "points of view" of the city, investigating the contemporary and urban role of the Gate. The visual stimuli multiplied with each sign that appeared between the sheets, gradually building the sense of the workshop enriched by strong experimentation of the engraving technique starting from etching, aquatint, drypoint, photo-engraving, "non-printing" and artificial intelligence. As at the center of a compass, the copper plate and the black color, have maintained the course of reasonings increasingly intense and rambling at the same time; plate and print, the two halves of the same thought.
The engravings on display are by the architects: Aldo Aymonino, Laura Bacchi, Carmelo Baglivo, Alessandro Bulletti, Maria Caterina Cimminella, Elisabetta Cleri, Raffaella Conte, Andrea Dragoni, Fabio Fabiani, Amanzio Farris, Ruggero Lenci, Antonio Pallotta, Giorgios Papaevangeliou, Filippo Parroni, Giovanni Pernazza, Franco Purini, Giovanni Romagnoli, Carlo Vitali, Lorenza Zuccari.

Everything we build has value – even after it has been used. How can we rediscover the beauty of reuse and create a future where used materials gain new life and circular resources take on new value? How can reuse become part of architecture's aesthetic? What does architecture look like if we stop throwing things away?
Construction is one of the world's biggest climate offenders. We build, demolish, and discard resources as if they are infinite. But a new movement is gaining ground—we are starting to build circularly. Across different places, design and construction are being reimagined to make use of what already exists. More buildings are being preserved, and repurposed materials are finding new functions.
You will explore the latest innovations in eco-friendly building materials and practical solutions to enhance efficiency while reducing your projects' environmental impact.

Co-curators Sana Frini and Philippe Rahm have announced the participants of "4° Celsius entre toi et moi" (4° Celsius Between You and Me), an exhibition that will take place as part of the 3rd Île-de-France Architecture and Landscape Biennial, in Versailles, France, from May 7 to July 13, 2025.
The exhibition is based on the observation that France is expected to experience a temperature rise of +4°C by the year 2100. Its current temperate climate is projected to shift toward a subtropical one. In response, the exhibition turns to warmer latitudes for architectural models that can inform how to build today in France—and in other regions currently considered temperate—an architecture capable of withstanding this increase in heat.

Sergei Tchoban: Sections of the Mind
Comprising fantastic visions, idea competition submissions, personal manifestos, and depictions of buildings now under construction, all artworks presented in Sergei Tchoban: Sections of the Mind—an assembly of 30 freehand charcoal and ink drawings, watercolors, pastels, and prints—explore effective and imaginary use of the architectural section. Cutting through buildings, colonnades, domes, and whole chunks of cities, the architect not merely exposes his structures' spatial and material complexities but reveals hidden histories and meanings. In his drawings, Tchoban addresses clashes of extreme dualities head-on. He looks for the right balance between pragmatic and artistic, ordinary and spectacular, historical and contemporary, and offers his take on how to build more engagingly, responsibly, and ecologically.
