Stone: Origins and Future in Architecture
On June 12 and 13, 2025, IUAV University of Venice will host "Stone is…," an international forum entirely dedicated to natural stone. Organized by PNA, this event aims to thoroughly explore the material's enduring value and sustainability, featuring insights from internationally renowned speakers.
The intention is also to use an innovative approach to commissioning work and towards the artists themselves, who include Jenny Holzer and James Turrell. The exhibition “Heaven’s Gift” – realised by MAK in Vienna and previously shown in New York, Los Angeles and Moscow – now comes to the Vitra in Berlin with a 1:50 scale model and drawings of the project and will conclude its tour in Vienna in February.
From 16 January al 24 February
