In 2023, we curated an exhibition centered on sustainability, exploring its many scales and forms through the work of architects and practitioners from around the world. As we face the urgent realities of climate change
and global societal challenges, it has become increasingly clear that architecture must take a bold, transformative role. Architects, uniquely positioned to drive this change by rethinking how we build, adapt, and restore.

The built environment plays a huge role in environmental damage. However, it also holds immense potential to become a driving force for positive transformation. This year, we are building on the narrative of our previous edition by encouraging participants to go even further and showcase projects, ideas, and reflections on how architecture can adopt a regenerative approach. This means prioritizing repair, embracing reuse, and fundamentally reshaping contemporary practice and research.

As part of this evolution, architects are experimenting with new materials and technologies, pushing the boundaries of design while reconsidering our relationship with nature, the built environment, and technology. These explorations raise essential questions about how our ways of living and thinking must adapt to a rapidly changing world.

Across the globe, architects are increasingly working with existing structures, repurposing and transforming them to meet new and evolving needs. This shift presents both opportunities and challenges, requiring a deep understanding of the social, economic, and cultural dimensions of such interventions.
Repair, Regenerate, and Reuse are not isolated concepts but interconnected principles shaping a new architectural ethos. Through this exhibition, we highlight the dynamic relationships between these themes, and showcase the diverse, multidisciplinary strategies architects are using to address them.

The exhibition brings together a crosssection of disciplines, ideas, and cultures, presenting projects that demonstrate architecture’s power as a catalyst for social and environmental repair. From community-led initiatives to adaptive reuse and material innovation, these works reflect the growing movement toward more responsible, sustainable design.

This year’s edition also amplifies voices that have long been underrepresented in architectural discourse. Indigenous knowledge, with its deep understanding of ecological balance and place-based sustainability, plays a crucial role in shaping new approaches to architecture and education. Beyond indigenous perspectives, the exhibition seeks to highlight other historically overlooked voices, including women in architecture, whose contributions have often been sidelined due to political, cultural, and institutional biases.

Emerging architects, including young firms and recent graduates, are also a focal point of this year’s exhibition. Many of these forward-thinking practitioners were invited to participate in Time Space Existence, where they present visionary projects and speculative work that explore cultural heritage restoration, reparative design interventions, and regenerative architecture at various scales.

Through this exhibition, we continue to push the boundaries of architectural discourse, advocating for a future that is more inclusive, responsible, and regenerative.
