Time Space Existence, the European Cultural Centre’s biennial architecture exhibition, concluded on November 23, 2025 in Venice, Italy, after welcoming nearly 370,000 visitors since May. Our installation, Kirigami d’Aria, was fetured on the mezzanine terrace of Palazzo Mora.
Kirigami d’Aria is a kinetic pavilion inspired by kirigami (“cut paper”). As it stretches open and closed, the perforated canopy breathes – inviting breeze to pass through, while casting vibrant, shifting patterns of shade.
