Tatiana Bilbao Estudio Brings 'Campo aperto' to MAXXI Rome for NATURE's Ninth Edition
At MAXXI in Rome, Tatiana Bilbao Estudio showcases 'Campo aperto' as part of the ninth iteration of NATURE, running from 16 October 2026 to 7 February 2027. On 15 October, a press conference was held featuring Maria Emanuela Bruni alongside curator Lorenza Baroncelli. Bilbao remarked, "Architecture is an open field," highlighting its role as a medium for fostering human connections. The exhibition focuses on play as a crucial element in building communities, inviting attendees to see the museum as a venue for interaction and engagement. It also prompts reflection on the disintegration of shared spaces in modern urban environments. Bilbao has been merging architecture with social contexts and regional identity since founding her practice in 2004.
