exhibition · 2026-04-27

The exhibition 'Era di Maggio' at the Museo Novecento in Florence honors 40 years of Ipostudio Architetti, curated by Laura Andreini, and will be open until October 11, 2023. Ipostudio, led by Carlo Terpolilli, operates in both Florence and Lugano, specializing in civil architecture. Their portfolio features the acclaimed Museo degli Innocenti (2016), alongside various hospitals, libraries, and churches. Among their notable designs is a third-place proposal for the redevelopment of Stadio A. Franchi in Florence. In May 2023, Ipostudio secured victory in the 'Terza Torre' competition for the expansion of Regione Toscana's headquarters, which includes a 55-meter tower. Additionally, Forma Edizioni released 'Architetture mai nate. Progetti di Ipostudio 1983-2023', with Terpolilli discussing unbuilt projects in the introduction.
