The Exhibition
The eighth edition of Time Space Existence will take place in Venice from May 8 to November 21, 2027, at Palazzo Bembo, Palazzo Mora, and the Marinaressa Gardens.
Building on the previous edition’s focus on Repair, Regenerate, and Reuse, the upcoming edition of Time Space Existence will explore architecture as a practice of adaptation and continuity over time. It will highlight the work of practices, institutions, and architects worldwide, from emerging studios to established professionals, across diverse formats and approaches. By documenting a diverse range of works, research projects, and conceptual explorations, the exhibition aims to offer an open platform to investigate how architecture evolves in response to changing environmental, social, and cultural contexts. Explore past editions.
Every two years, Time Space Existence invites reflection on the fundamental dimensions of human life and architecture: time, space, and existence. In a world facing climate crises, geopolitical tensions, and social inequalities, the exhibition provides architects, researchers, and creative professionals with the opportunity to share ideas, connect with an international community, and showcase how architecture can create sustainable, inclusive, and resilient spaces for the future.
If you are interested in exploring the possibility of participating in the exhibition, we welcome you to get in touch and share your ideas or proposals.

The outstanding variety of the venue’s features make Palazzo Mora a versatile space where to display a substantial group of projects and installations. The building includes vast rooms with fresco ceilings, white-cube spaces, rooms with moderate dimensions, wooden beams and an intimate atmosphere.
