Building Community
31 October 2025 – Venice, Ca’ Giustinian | Headquarters of La Biennale di Venezia & online
The Festa dell’Architetto, organised by the National Council of Architects, Planners, Landscapers and Conservationists (CNAPPC), is an annual celebration of architecture as a service to the community — a moment to reaffirm the profession’s commitment to shaping cities and territories that respond to social, cultural, and environmental change.
Over the years, the event has explored themes such as shared spaces, sustainability, and the evolving relationship between people and the urban environment. The 2025 edition focuses on urban regeneration guided by human-centered vision— exploring how well-designed spaces can foster inclusion, equity, and improved quality of life.
Architects, policymakers, and international experts will gather to discuss how architectural policies and laws can shape collective action and bring tangible benefits to communities. The CNAPPC will once again advocate for a Law on Architecture and Landscape — a measure not just for the profession, but for citizens and the cultural richness of Italy itself.
The event will conclude with the presentation of the Italian Architect Award 2025 and the Young Talent of Italian Architecture Award 2025, celebrating the courage and creativity of Italian designers contributing to the regeneration of our built environment.
