"In an era marked by unpredictable events and escalating natural disasters, architects bear an unprecedented responsibility. Given the building sector’s 40% contribution to global carbon emissions, ignoring the consequences of climate change is untenable. With limited time and resources, innovative sustainable design is vital. Architecture must align with societal needs, local culture, economy and the environment and above all, it must care for our future."
— Noemi Blager, Curator and Producer
A Lot With Little is a fascinating journey into architecture, which in this project best expresses its true meaning – to listen to and accommodate people's needs, in different contexts and moments of their lives. Supporting and promoting this project for us means echoing a powerful message: in architecture — and in design — you have to put people at the center, in order to offer new and useful solutions to their needs.
Roberto Monti, CEO of Arper

A Lot With Little showcases the work of ten international architects, spanning housing, education, transformation, and disaster relief - all socially impactful projects that overcome a lack of resources through creative ingenuity. An immersive film installation invites visitors to experience what it feels like to inhabit these spaces, rather than merely responding to their visual appeal.
Exclusively adapted for a single screen A Lot With Little will premiere at the Carnival mini-film festival – part of the 2023 Venice Architecture Biennale curated by Lesley Lokko, and afterwards the exhibition will be staged in different parts of the world – each host institution featuring a programme of live and online events, to generate a cross-pollination of ideas and much needed international debate.
