Ubani — Tbilisi Cityscape Research Center, in collaboration with IUAV University of Venice, is now presenting the exhibition Tbilisi — Risingland, which features the outcomes of a work focused on critical representations of the geological intimacy of Tbilisi through the creation of three-dimensional hand-made models.
Tbilisi — Risingland presents the handmade works created during the Tbilisi Landscape Modeling workshop, held in September 2025, as part of Ubani's educational program, which was led by Renato Rizzi, together with his assistants Susanna Pisciella, Giorgia Antonioli, and David Brodsky. The workshop involved around 100 participants — both local and international students and young professionals, who created two models of the city. The process involved preparing drawings for printing, cutting, and gluing paper and cardboard for the first positive model, then casting silicone negatives, followed by plaster positives as exhibition material.
