In 2018, City Space Architecture signed an agreement with La Biennale di Venezia for the 16th International Architecture Exhibition – titled FREESPACE, curated by Yvonne Farrell and Shelley McNamara – in order to be included in the ‘Biennale Sessions’, a special program for Universities and Higher Education Institutions. This collaboration is intended as a continuation of the successful ‘Biennale Session’ we promoted in 2016, where we announced our participation at the Habitat III conference in Quito and officially launched ‘The Journal of Public Space‘, in collaboration with the Queensland University of Technology and in partnership with UN-Habitat, the United Nations Human Settlements Programme.

This three-day event, titled ‘Past Present and Future of Public Space. Knowledge sharing toward implementation of the New Urban Agenda’, on September 21-22-23, was intended to strengthen our efforts around the implementation of the New Urban Agenda adopted at the Habitat III conference and to continue the discussion on the importance of public space in cities.
In addition to the visit to the Architecture exhibition, the 3-day event included:
– a one-day international symposium
– an international workshop for students
– three collateral events: the visit at the Cyprus pavilion ‘I’m where you are’ with the curator Yiorgos Hadjichristou, the visit at the Irish pavilion ‘Free Market’ with the curator Tara Kennedy and the visit at the Dutch pavilion ‘Work, Body, Leisure’ with Marieke Berkers, on the occasion of the launch of the book ‘Dream your own future’. 

The three-day event was curated by our President Dr Luisa Bravo.
