The fifth edition of the Festival des Cabanes has transformed the gardens of Villa Medici in Rome into a space of rest and reflection, featuring ephemeral micro-architectures by international architects. The installations, including Bento's "Duomo Invertito" made from broom handles and living mycelium tiles, explore themes of reuse, local materials, and the relationship with the natural environment. The festival opens the normally restricted gardens to the public for half the year, drawing over 42,000 visitors.
