Last October, Diamond Schmitt invited Pippo Ciorra (Curator of the MAXXI Gallery in Rome) and Maria Claudia Clemente (Co-founder and Director of studio Labics) to Toronto to speak about the curation and development of Buone Nuove/Good News – a traveling exhibition first held at the MAXXI which chronicles the importance of women in architecture in the contemporary world.



Over the past year, Diamond Schmitt and Principal Martin Davidson, have been working with the MAXXI to bring Buone Nuove/Good News to Toronto for its inaugural North American exhibition.
 
Curated by Pippo Ciorra, Elena Motisi and Elena Tinacci, Buone Nuove/Good News features works and words of dozens of Italian and global women architects who have changed the field of architecture and are empowering a new generation of inclusive city-builders. The exhibition offers a new and more comprehensive perspective of architecture by showing how women and women-led collectives have elevated the quality of modern and contemporary design.



On September 5, 2024, Buone Nuove/Good News will open its doors at TMU’s Paul H. Cocker Gallery in the Department of Architectural Science. The exhibition will present images, artifacts and videos that feature the works and words of global women architects via four curatorial lenses: Stories, Practices, Narrations, and Visions, complemented by a special spotlight on 15 Canadian women architects, including Diamond Schmitt Principal Sydney Browne.



Date: September 5, 2024 – October 10, 2024
Time: 10:00AM EDT – 4:00PM EDT
Location: Paul H. Cocker Gallery, 325 Church St. Toronto, ON M5B 2M2

Open to the public
