“On behalf of Commissioner Gabriel who could not be with us today, let me say a few words. First on architecture, a considerable force. The spaces in which we live shape our lives. They determine how we connect to each other as well as how we connect to the nature. As we work to change society for the better, addressing climate change, promoting inclusion
and well-being, architecture is fundamental. [...] The Young Talent Architecture Award – co-funded by our Creative Europe Programme - recognises this, and more importantly - it puts young people as an integral part in this process. We need young talents like you! The Award enables your ideas to shape the Europe we want to live in. - Mr. Guglielmo di Cola,
Member of Cabinet of the EU Commissioner for Research, Innovation, Education, Culture and Youth, European Commission."

Within the framework of the 17th International Architecture Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia, How will we live together? the Awards Ceremony was preceded by two debates focusing on “Educating together” and “New European Bauhaus: How will we live together?” two key themes in relation to education and how to rethink Europe which prioritises the environment through a cultural project in which design and sustainability are indissociable.
