This year there are 100 years since Rudolf Steiner died. His relevance, for us, didn't diminish. He was a brilliant non-architect who built better than many architects. How to explain it ?
Utopian Hours returns to Turin as Europe's leading festival dedicated to city making and urban innovation. Three days packed with inspiration: masterclasses, talks, workshops, roundtables, and exhibitions. Recipes and case studies from around the world show how urban (and social) innovation happens — and how the very idea of city-making is being stretched in bold new directions. More than 40 international guests, the most influential media, leading urban gurus, and Europe's sharpest city officials are all gathering in Turin to exchange ideas, tools, experiences, solutions, desires, and passions.
The earliest stages of ideation can be both the most exciting and the most challenging part of the design process. Ideas flow quickly, but they can be abstract and difficult to communicate. This can lead to frustration and waste precious time.
Now, architects, designers, and artists can shorten the distance between the first sketch and a meaningful design decision by pairing traditional ideation techniques with AI-powered visualization tools designed to enhance — not replace — human creativity. Chaos tools keep creators firmly in the center of the process, empowering them with speed and clarity without sacrificing ownership or control.

“Hyper-real O-scape Village” overlays multiple projects into a single urban scene, where interstices and peripheral elements are reconfigured as flows of sensibility.
Sunyoung Park's solo exhibition Lost & Found: Interstice, Sensibility, Transplantation restores the unseen "interstice" as a point of sensory departure amid the city's growing genericness. Gathering structures and rhythms from peripheral elements—rooftop decks, exterior stairs, covered streams, underpasses, public easements—the work transplants them into new contexts to re-order flows and hierarchies.

Open House Essen returns this September, once again opening doors to buildings that are normally closed to the public. On the festival weekend, everyone is invited to come along, step inside, and gather impressions—whether with a special interest in architecture or simply with the desire to explore their own neighbourhood.

This year there are 100 years since Robert Rauschenberg was born. Should we celebrate the centennials of "avant-garde" artists ? Even more so, of a Neo-Dadaist artist ? Isn't such a celebration a little too bourgeois ?
