The River Somes project is a contemporary example of river regeneration and re-naturalization efforts that aims to interconnect the diverse communities that inhabit the city of Cluj-Napoca in Romania, as well as to re-associate them to local fauna and flora species that were far removed from their natural habitat on the riverbanks.
Given the wide range of the project, it proposes a new frame for dialogue and interaction by means of architecture, and unites the efforts of a wide multidisciplinary team that includes architects, landscape designers, engineers, urban planners, government agencies and everyday users in order to find a possible answer to the question of how we will live together.
The project therefore re-imagines the river as a new active social space for interrelation that operates across scales and programs. It defines how the residents of the city interact among themselves and with their surrounding ecosystem. On a community-scale level, it becomes a space to gather and exchange ideas among the different communities that live in the city.
The Somes project, although limited in time and space, has multiple ramifications that affect entire communities across social orders and physical boundaries, and acts as a new piece of shared infrastructure that addresses both local and global conditions equally.

ALMA ZEVI is proud to announce the first two-person exhibition of Luisa Lambri (b. 1969, Como) and Bijoy Jain/ Studio Mumbai (b. 1965, Mumbai). Both artists have created new work on the occasion, using photography and sculpture respectively. Lambri and Jain have participated in multiple Venice Art and Architecture Biennales (Lambri in 1999, 2003, 2004 and 2010, winning the Golden Lion in 1999; Jain in 2010 and 2016).

​On May 22nd 2021, from 10:00 to 19:00, the Unfolding Pavilion will open its doors to the public. Now in its third edition, the Unfolding Pavilion will pop-up on the occasion of the 17th International Architecture Exhibition at the Biennale di Venezia, inside of the belly of an old mercantile sailboat - a trabaccolo - moored at Punta della Dogana. Now managed by a non-profit organization, the trabaccolo once belonged to Countess Luisa Albertina di Tesserata: an eccentric art collector who in the 1970s commissioned the construction, on a small island of the Venetian archipelago she owned, of an almost exact replica of an unrealised project by John Hejduk: the House for the Inhabitant who Refused to Participate.
