We are pleased to welcome and host fellows, organizers and participants of the UTA-Do African Cities Workshop.

The visit in our museum included a short guided introduction covering the history of the museum, how it came into being, and its significance as a space that reflects public–private interaction, negotiation, and coexistence, as well as insights into how it operates as a private museum.

We thank @TheUrbanCenter, a hosting institution for the UTA-Do African Cities Workshop 2026 in Addis Ababa, in partnership with the @UTADO_Africa organizing team and Politecnico diTorino @PoliTOnews, through the #Wagon2Africa TNE project.

UTA-Do (Urban Theory Africa–Doing) is an annual, week-long critical urban studies workshop that brings together approximately 30 early-career academics, researchers, and artists. The program combines lectures, methods workshops, field engagements, and artistic interventions to collectively explore African cities through inclusive, practice-based approaches.

Deeply saddened to hear about it. I had the privilege of knowing him and sharing conversations and thoughts about the role and responsibility of architecture and architects in building a more just world.
We will miss him very much.

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Vassilis Sgoutas, architect and Honorary President of the UIA.
Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing him. He will be greatly missed and fondly remembered.

New @UNDP research reveals that the world is “not on track” to achieve gender equality by 2030.

Gender bias is a pervasive problem worldwide. Sadly, #Italy is no exception, even in the #Academia.
