Buone Nuove!

Toronto Metropolitan University is hosting the internationally acclaimed architecture exhibition “Buone Nuove: Good News from Italy (external link) ,” which first opened at the MAXXI museum in Rome in 2022. After traveling to Stockholm, Doha, New Delhi and Berlin, Buone Nuove/Good News opens at TMU’s Paul H. Cocker Gallery in the Department of Architectural Science for its inaugural North American showing on September 5, 2024.

Curated by Pippo Ciorra, Elena Motisi and Elena Tinacci, this traveling exhibition features works and words of dozens of Italian and global women architects who have changed the field of architecture and are empowering a new generation of inclusive city-builders. The exhibition offers a new and more comprehensive perspective of architecture by showing how women and women-led collectives have elevated the quality of modern and contemporary design.

TMU has expanded the original exhibition to highlight women architects working in the Toronto region. This includes EMPOWERING PRACTICES of 16 women who are reshaping the city through innovation, leadership, and advocacy.
