Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) is thrilled to announce that the Department of Architectural Science at TMU will be hosting the internationally acclaimed architecture exhibition "Buone Nuove: Good News from Italy," 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.
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. Find out more here.
To complement this traveling exhibition we are curating a display of women architects working in and around Toronto who are positively impacting communities and the city through built works, practice innovation, leadership, mentorship, and advocacy.
Want to be part of this exhibition?
Send TMU something about you and your work for display!
To celebrate the broadest range of people and projects empowering women in architecture and diversity in design, they invite you to submit a ‘Postcard to Progress’ - a pairing of image and text, which will be displayed and exchange during the exhibition.
Your contribution may take different forms: a description of a project or initiative mobilizing knowledge about women architects and their work; a manifesto (in images and/or words), provoking questions, thoughts and/or actions toward greater diversity in design; or a personal memory, memo or message to architects or the public – past, present or future.
Anyone supporting women and diversity in architecture in the Toronto/Tkaronto region is invited to submit - including students, interns, professionals, educators, researchers, writers, artists, makers and community members.
Multiple submissions are welcome. Please submit here by August 15.
We hope to see you at the opening reception on Sept. 5!
Details to be announced later this summer.
