presence roma XLV exhibition - Cambridge

Friday, May 9, 2025 - Tuesday, May 13, 2025 (all day)

Architecture Student Work Exhibition 

After 45 years, we celebrate our latest term in the Eternal City, 

 and recall those before with the ardent assertion:  

Our Future is in Rome. 

The University of Waterloo School of Architecture class of 2025 is proud to reaffirm our long-standing Presence in Rome with an exhibit of our design projects, sketches, photographs and videos. Through it, we seek to convey the lasting impact of our temporary stay in Rome, the most layered of cities, where ancient buildings and urban armatures are inhabited by a modern people. As foreign student designers, we explored a reciprocal approach to these spaces, striving to take in the rich history of the land, while providing our own unique perspective.  

We are delighted to invite you to view our Fall 2024 material alongside documentation spanning 45 years, to serve as a record of a continued legacy.
