Kirigami d’Aria: Installation opens to the public May 10 in Venice, Italy

May, 2025

Time Space Existence, the European Cultural Centre’s biennial architecture exhibition, opens to the public on May 10, 2025 in Venice, Italy! We’re excited to present our installation, Kirigami d’Aria, 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.
