Built by Hand<\/em> brings together testimonies from a wide range of craftspeople\u2014stone carvers, decorative painters, carpenters, blacksmiths, plasterers, and glass artisans, among others\u2014highlighting the diversity of their backgrounds and contexts. Through their accounts, the exhibition addresses key aspects of these trades: the intergenerational transmission of knowledge, the relationship between manual skill and cultural identity, and the intrinsic value of making. <\/p>\n\n

By making these practices visible to a broader audience, the initiative fosters their understanding not only as heritage to be preserved, but as living disciplines with full relevance in contemporary architectural and cultural production.<\/p>\n\n
