Prof. Shavishvili had a two-week visiting course with the world-renowned IUAV, a leading Italian architecture and design institute, sponsored by the Erasmus+ staff mobility program. He held a lecture with the senior students of IUAV, participated in an assessment of their graduate works, took part in IUAV faculty workshops, worked in the institution's library, and got acquainted with many valuable items in the IUAV custody. Since the institute is inseparably related to the legacy of Carlo Scarpa, who designed a famous entrance to its architectural faculty and taught drawing and interior decoration there from the late 1940s until his death in 1978, research trips to his iconic projects such as Fondazione Querini Stampalia and Olivetti Showroom (now museum) in Venice,  Brion sanctuary and Brion-Vega tomb in San Vito d'Altivole near Treviso, and Castelvecchio Museum in Verona, had been taken and extensively recorded: an excellent teaching and learning material for generations of IDS students.
