The exhibition layout follows the idea of hiding and gradually discovering the view (miegakure), bringing to mind historical temples, palaces, gardens, and houses of ”the land of cherry blossoms.” The presented exhibition can be considered an attempt to establish an intercultural and interdisciplinary dialogue using various means of expression – material and non-material.
Bodega y Oficinas Black Warehouse, designed by Inaprensible, is based on rehabilitating a pre-existing metallic structure for a company. It is proposed to recycle the structure and demolish specific metal elements to regularize the areas and locate the new offices on the second floor of the building. A fundamental change was the redesign of the vertical circulation. The main objective of the project is to give priority to the metallic structure using the pre-existing heights and axes for the correct operation of the offices.
Inaprensible is dedicated to the search for good art, as the main point to motivate professionals to value architecture as the first art. The ideology is subtle and simple architecture. Always as a reference to the phrase less is more.

Patio Housing, designed by Noname Studio, is part of a process of urban regeneration of a courtyard interior in a typical block of the residential suburbs of south-east Milan.

TD House, designed by ESQUISSOS Arquitectura e Consultoria, understands the site, the relationship of the land with the street & the scale of the street. The whole idea develops under a lower area, as a white closed building that merges with the environment, ensuring greater privacy and protection and superior energy efficiency, including simple and clean, almost “monolithic” construction.
Esquissos Arquitectura e Consultoria has projects in architecture – housing, rehabilitation, industrial and commercial sectors, and design. Areas such as sustainability, energy efficiency, indoor air quality or budget control, combined with investment in tools that ensure accuracy and compatibility between the various specialties, allow our projects to be given what matters most to any client – comfort and quality.

The Continental, designed by Jonathan Segal FAIA, is a case study in reducing apartment size into a 400 sq. ft. “efficiency unit” and initially planned to eliminate all onsite parking. This mixed-use project is situated on a postage stamp-sized lot at 5,000 square feet and has 42 apartments, 5 of which are very low income, commercial spaces on the ground floor and a 3 bedroom single family home at the corner. The building features concrete and steel construction with floor to ceiling glazing and large balconies serving as a reprieve from the more intimate interior space.
Uliveto House, designed by Noname Studio, is a residence generated from the natural elements in which it is immersed. The composition of the building explicitly announces the hierarchy of functions and their reciprocal relationship in space: a cube contains the living area of the villa and intersects a low oblong prism of the sleeping area. The two volumes are slightly rotated to embrace the centuries-old olive tree, the centre of an open terrace and the main relational space as well as the heart of the outdoor life.
Jonathan Segal FAIA has created and modeled the unique practice of “Architect as Developer,” a prototype in which the architect can become the owner. Therefore, eliminating the client and the general contractor from the design and building process.

Kubik Extension, designed by GRAS arquitectos, is an extension of a single-family detached home in Mallorca, Spain. The result is a series of “boxes” that surround and embrace the old house, generating an innovative combination between the existing building and the new “boxes” of steel. This combination enhances both architectures: the framing of the new volumes highlights the old, of little value and the new stands out greatly in contrast to the former. The result is a very cosy environment suitable for the purpose for which it is intended.
