with this section was intended the organization of an open exhibition
open as well to the readings the visitors may make of it
in that sense the information provided was minimal
that information gets completed during the exhibition
and depends on the events that occur in it
in general our goal is
          to value the creative project over the art object
          to draw attention to the creative project
          open didactic and non-aesthetic
according to the main statements we seek to highlight
everything which in the creative process is in-process
from usual architectural integration projects
or of urban planning
to the projects that present themselves as art objects

NB – every idea is a project
