The exhibition SCREENS AND SIEVES is a journey through space and time.

“Architecture for Landscape” was created on these premises: it aims to train designers to meet the diverse needs of transforming territories. The course encourages an attentive and productive dialogue with the surrounding landscape to respond to the needs of clients' unique contexts. Via a thorough analysis of the natural world, light and geomorphological terrain features, the designers will become increasingly able to reconnect human design to the natural environment. In becoming inspired by the landscape, they can design outstanding, sustainable and impressive architecture.

To celebrate Interior Design Day, we have organized a discussion titled “Creative Materiality in Interior Design.”

Architecture is inevitably linked to the specific circumstances in which each project is developed, as well as the individual criteria applied to each proposal.

Four esteemed panelists will share informed perspectives on temporarily reprogramming large complexes toward greater public health and safety, along with their predictions of new approaches and priorities that may affect developments still in design and planning stages.

Pascal Schumacher’s unique aptitude and sensitivity with the vibraphone are unparalleled, having been developed in no less than four of Europe’s most notable conservatories including the Luxembourg Conservatory where he now teaches percussion and jazz vibraphone. Over a 25-year career, he has explored the links that exist between many musical genres, making it difficult to pigeon–hole his talent, taste or musical influences. Schumacher has made a name for himself in a variety of collaborative endeavours from trios and quartets to symphonic orchestras, with a repertoire that spans contemporary classical music to pop-infused jazz.
