"Incontro," the format created by Cantiere Galli Design to promote synergies between design, territory and hospitality, returned with its fourth appointment yesterday, June 16, 2026. From the collaboration between Olimpia Zagnoli and Poliart came "Isolotto," a modular furnishing element conceived as a seat, support base, or play element.

Conceived in two different heights for adults and children, the elements can be easily transported, moved and recomposed thanks to the lightness of the structure, freely adapting to different uses and configurations. The collection will be donated to Peter Pan ODV, continuing to live in the spaces of the association as a tangible symbol of a design that chooses to be a tool of care.

𝐓𝐀𝐁 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 “𝐇𝐎𝐖 𝐌𝐔𝐂𝐇?” 𝐑𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐀𝐋𝐒 𝐈𝐓𝐒 𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐈𝐏𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐒 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐆𝐑𝐀𝐌𝐌𝐄

Dedicated to the theme “How Much?”, the Tallinn Architecture Biennale (TAB 2026) turns attention to the relationship between constraint, cost and architecture that has remained suppressed in much of architectural discourse, to unlock new ways of understanding the meaning of value, affordability and responsibility in architecture.

Addressing both architects and the general public, the TAB 2026 Official Programme consists of five main events: a Curatorial Exhibition, a Symposium, a Vision Competition Exhibition, an Installation Programme and an International Architecture Schools' Exhibition.

On the one hand, the curatorial theme explores architectural strategies that emerge from conditions of constraint, scarcity and limited resources; on the other, it examines the broader social, ecological and temporal costs that often remain invisible behind the economic realities of construction.

“How Much?” investigates the paradox of cheapness in architecture, challenging its conventional association with low cost and efficiency. Instead, it proposes frugality as a critical and generative mode of practice, encouraging architects to rethink value beyond price and to consider the long-term impacts of design on communities, resources and the environment.

𝐀𝐋𝐕𝐈𝐒𝐈 𝐊𝐈𝐑𝐈𝐌𝐎𝐓𝐎 𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐒 "𝐆𝐄𝐓 𝐀 𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐃𝐋𝐄 𝐎𝐍!" 𝐀𝐓 𝐌𝐀𝐀𝐌 𝐈𝐍 𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐄

In occasion of IPER – Festival delle Periferie, Alvisi Kirimoto presents the project "Get a handle on!" at MAAM Museo dell'Altro e dell'Altrove di Metropoliz_città meticcia, within the exhibition "Joy – Conditions of Belonging" (29–31 May 2026), curated by Atelier Cory Henry.

The project is a playful and spatial intervention that transforms MAAM into a landscape of micro-discoveries through a treasure hunt built around a series of handles, designed by diverse creatives and disseminated throughout the museum's spaces.

"Get a handle on!" invites visitors to move through the museum as explorers, transforming the act of searching into a way to orient oneself, participate and feel part of a temporary community.

Shape of Belonging examined the quiet ties between identity and ancestry through craft and memory. Each piece operated as a vessel of inherited knowledge. While cultures, languages and gestures appeared distinct, they often stemmed from shared human impulses. Developed in collaboration between Isola Design and Oliwia Maria Studio, the exhibition treated craft as a universal language.

Default Is Not Universal — The same design. Different perceptions rejected a single, fixed perspective. Curated by Isola for Ithra - King Abdulaziz Center for World Culture, it invited visitors to engage with works by designers from the MENA region while becoming part of the experience themselves. With the support of AI, responses were translated into visual outputs, revealing diverse readings of the same designs.

Archivi Futuri explored the future of objects beyond 2050, imagining new ways of archiving emotions, cultural production and the state of the world. Co-curated by Isola and Pietro Petrillo, the exhibition reflected on how today's creative output can remain sustainable, accessible and meaningful for generations to come.
