In 2021, ICFF presented two events dedicated to Architecture & Design and centred around the pivoting relationship between architecture and water. At its breathtaking open-air theatre at Trillium Park, ICFF held an in-depth conversation on the renowned and controversial architect, Aldo Rossi through the screening of “Carlo Scarpa and Aldo Rossi: Masters of Poetry and Memory”, and an incredible panel discussion moderated by Prof. Morris Adjmi featuring acclaimed architects and designers in the field. Also at the open-air cinema, ICFF screened the documentary by Ila Bêka & Louise Lemoine, "Homus Urbanus Venetianus” focused on the very fitting topic of water architecture and construction through the images of the successes and struggles of Venice’s architecture. The film was accompanied by the presentation of the filmmakers and a dynamic panel discussion featuring Toronto Waterfront and moderated by Dragana Maznic and Anna Simone
