The Exhibition
Ever since 2012, Time Space Existence has been presented as the extensive biennial architecture exhibition organised and hosted by the European Cultural Centre that contemplates the fundamental philosophical concepts of Time, Space and Existence. It brings together an international and eclectic group of participants working across different disciplines who present completed and ongoing projects, innovative proposals, and utopian dreams of architectural expressions focusing and reflecting upon these topics in line with contemporary discussions.
Organised every other year, the exhibition Time Space Existence aims to stimulate an exchange among architects, universities, legendary masters, emerging studios, established global practices, designers, artists, photographers, developers, and engineering companies, who together can have a crucial role in shaping the future of our ways of living.
Time Space Existence 2025: Repair, Regenerate, Reuse
The 2025 group exhibition invites international architects, designers, artists, academics, and researchers to engage with the pivotal themes of Repair, Regenerate, and Reuse. The show presents a dynamic array of works that span multiple disciplines, scales, and cultural contexts, offering innovative responses to some of the most urgent environmental, social, and cultural challenges of our time.

Exhibition venues
Palazzo Mora
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.
Palazzo Bembo
The historic venue of Palazzo Bembo, close to Rialto Bridge and facing Canal Grande, with its symmetrical room distribution across both floors, is the ideal venue to exhibit works that blend an extraordinary combination of mediums, perfectly complementing the content of all projects.
Marinaressa Gardens
The two public gardens, Marinaressa Gardens of Levante and Ponente, one more specular than the other, are located in Riva Dei Sette Martiri, 15 minutes away from the main square of Venice, Piazza San Marco, and five minutes from La Biennale. Marinaressa Gardens welcome installations and sculptures that tune into the natural environment, transforming it into an extraordinary sculpture park.
