How can we create, reinvent, and occupy city spaces? This is the mission of the Instituto A Cidade Precisa de Você, which seeks to redefine the relationship between the urban environment and the population through actions that broaden perspectives on the city, public spaces, and their cultural manifestations. The non-profit institute brings together individuals interested in promoting the coordination and activation of public spaces.

At Play: Architecture & Game is an exhibition about play and imagination, built experiences, and mythological narratives. It centers on the idea of "World-Making" and brings together two figures: the architect and the child. Children's games have always been a fertile ground for the invention of "Worlds." Likewise, architects also imagine new "Worlds." These worlds, and the mechanisms of invention upon which they depend, are the essence of the exhibition, which addresses themes as varied as childhood and education, urban planning, public space, history, architecture, art, and invention, with the goal of tracing the history of both imaginary "Worlds" and those that have been imagined.
