1. Joos van Craesbeeck: “The Temptation of St. Anthony”, ca. 1650. In the Renaissance, St. Anthony is often depicted as a madman who rejects humanism to retreat into nature and live as a hermit (Staatliche Kunsthalle Karlsruhe); 2./3. studio erde’s speculative project “Climate Sanctuaries” calls for a radical rethinking of museums, moving beyond static city-centered institutions to become active testing grounds for artistic and scientific practices situated in vulnerable and remote landscapes around the globe ().

1. Map of Mexico City in 1885. By then, a large part of the ancient lake network had already been drained, a process which began in the 16th century with the destruction of Aztec hydraulic infrastructures by Spanish colonizers, and continued after independence until the mid-20th century (Courtesy David Rumsey Historical Maps Collection); 2. The Chinampas are indigenous agricultural systems consisting of artificial farming plots separated by canals. They are still found today, particularly in the region of the former lake Xochimilco (© Anna Paula Tovar); 3. In occasion of the 2025 Venice Architecture Biennale, the collective Chinampa Veneta, brought the Mexican Chinampas to Venice by recreating a 1:1 model of the traditional soil systems inside the Arsenale. In the picture, “Chinampa Veneta” is seen in a speculative collage based on Aldo Rossi’s Teatro del Mondo (© Chinampa Veneta).
