Tucked within the leafy confines of the Giardini della Biennale in Venice stands a structure modest in scale yet immense in quiet conviction: the Finland Pavilion, designed by Alvar and Elissa Aalto for the 1956 Venice Biennale. Unlike the monumental pavilions that surround it, Aalto's structure was conceived not as a permanent structure, but as a temporary exhibition space for a single exhibition season. And yet, nearly seventy years on, it remains—weathered, resilient, and quietly luminous.

The 2025 Camposaz Cultural Association workshop season kicks off in Southern Italy, in the small yet charming town of Conca della Campania, located within the Roccamonfina Foce Garigliano Regional Park.
The event is organized as part of the first edition of Mostra Mercato, one of the many initiatives of Borghi - Ruralità, biodiversità, innovazione grant. The workshop will take place in the town center, in close contact with the local community and the summer 2025 events.
Participants will build a series of mobile structures to support the market, with the ultimate goal of visually connecting the urban space involved in the exhibition. These installations, which will be entirely designed and built on site, may be inspired by the surrounding landscape and the three time periods that guide the selection of displayed objects: antiques, vintage, and modern design.
