The image - Cersaie 2026

A space for architectural design

The visual depicts an abstract architectural landscape where volumes, arches and colour gradients merge with natural elements. This ideal city reflects a multiethnic, constantly evolving society in which different cultures intersect to create new ways of living. The vertical forms hint at fluid, multifunctional spaces, while the trees inserted among the structures underscore the growing need to welcome nature back into our urban world, bringing wellbeing into the built environment.
The natural palette – from warm shades to cooler tones – evokes the variety of identities that coexist in harmony, creating an inclusive and contemporary aesthetic language.
The illustration becomes a metaphor for a place open to dialogue, where architecture and nature regenerate one another and offer fresh inspiration for imagining and designing the future.
