Three days packed with inspiration: masterclasses, talks, workshops, roundtables, and exhibitions. Recipes and case studies from around the world show how urban (and social) innovation happens \u2014 and how the very idea of city-making is being stretched in bold new directions. More than 40 international guests, the most influential media, leading urban gurus, and Europe&#8217;s sharpest city officials are all gathering in Turin to exchange ideas, tools, experiences, solutions, desires, and passions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Elizabeth Diller (DS+R) and Winy Maas (MVRDV) open the first day of <a href=\"https:\/\/utopianhours.it\/?utm_campaign=archdaily-editorial-post&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=archdaily\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Utopian Hours 2025<\/a><br \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>At the core of this year&#8217;s edition are two headliners whose work has redefined the relationship between architecture, culture, and public life. Elizabeth Diller, co\u2011founding partner of <a href=\"https:\/\/dsrny.com\/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=archdaily.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Diller Scofidio + Renfro<\/a>, brings a body of work that threads major cultural institutions, civic imagination, and experimental performance into a single inquiry about the city before the form. From New York&#8217;s The Shed and the MoMA expansion to the V&amp;A East Storehouse in London and recent work in Doha, Diller&#8217;s trajectory underscores a design intelligence that blurs boundaries, elevates public experience, and embraces the city as a living stage.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/loader-blue.gif\" alt=\"Content Loader\" style=\"width: 40px; margin: 24px;\"\/><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Portlantis Visitor and Exhibition Center \/ MVRDV \u00a9Ossip Share Share Facebook Twitter Mail Pinterest Whatsapp Or https:\/\/www.archdaily.com\/1034043\/utopian-hours-in-turin-a-festival-for-bold-new-directions-in-city-making Utopian&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":231783,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[2513,648,1032,1033,171,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-231782","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-arts-and-design","8":"tag-architecture","9":"tag-arts","10":"tag-arts-and-design","11":"tag-design","12":"tag-entertainment","13":"tag-united-states","14":"tag-unitedstates","15":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115214927263235672","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/231782","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=231782"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/231782\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/231783"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=231782"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=231782"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=231782"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
