President of the Venice Biennale
The President of the 19th Venice International Architecture Biennale 2025 is Pietrangelo Buttafuoco.Organiser of the 19th International Architecture Exhibition
Carlo Ratti is the organiser of the 2025 Architecture Biennale.The title of the 2025 Biennale: « Intelligens »
In 2025, the title will be condensed into a single word for Italian and English, invoking the common Latin origin: Intelligens.
China, Renewal Translated separately, the final syllable, ‘gens’, means ‘people’: from here emerges an imaginary alternative root, suggesting a multiple and inclusive more future of intelligence, which escapes the excessive limits of today's emphasis on AI.
The Venice Architecture Biennale 2025
The 19th International Architecture Exhibition will be dedicated to architecture. International Architecture Exhibition will be dedicated to the built environment and the numerous disciplines that shape it.Architecture is at the centre of these, but not alone: it is part of an extended framework that must integrate art, engineering, biology, data science, social and political science, planetary science and other disciplines, linking each of these to the materiality of urban space.
Adjaye, Futures Lab The built environment is one of the main responsible for atmospheric emissions.
In this sense, architecture can be held responsible for much of the environmental degradation of our planet.
Faced with an accelerating climate crisis, should we resign ourselves to this role, or are we still capable of offering solutions that are substantial and non-cosmetic, effective and quick to implement?
The Exhibition will attempt to chart new paths for the future, by suggesting a vent of solutions to the most pressing problems of the present.
Australia, Unsettling Queenstown It will bring together a collection of experimental design proposals, inspired by a definition of ‘intelligence’ as the ability to adapt to the environment from a limited pool of resources, knowledge or power.
Objects, buildings and urban plans will be arranged along the axis of a multiple and diffuse intelligence - natural, artificial and collective.
The exhibition imagines architects as mutagenic agents, capable of triggering evolutionary processes and steering them in new directions.
Drawing on multiple scientific disciplines and progressing through trial and error, this exhibition aims to accelerate the transformation of the present, in search of better futures.
NATURAL INTELLIGENCE
Denmark, Coastal Imaginaries Architecture, whose original function was to repair humans from the natural elements, now relies on nature to redirect its action.
Repelling vegetation into the heart of our cities is one of the most effective ways of combating extreme temperatures.
Organic materials can store carbon while preventing new emissions through insulation.
Biomimicry reminds us that the best designs are the product of millions of years of evolution.
Will we one day be able to design a building as intelligent as a tree?
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
Korea, 2086: Together How? Vast networks of connections and sensors link our metropolises, creating a digital infrastructure that spans the globe.
Despite their energy consumption, these technologies can be used to mitigate the environmental impact of urban development.
Thanks to real-time feedback loops, the built environment is beginning to react like a living organism.
At the same time, artificial intelligence could shake up the traditional role of architects.
How will the profession change when generative models are able to produce construction details from simple textual data?
COLLECTIVE INTELLIGENCE
Saudi Arabia Since prehistoric times, architecture without architects has been able to develop sustainable solutions in response to environmental pressure.
From the Machiya of Kyoto to the rock dwellings of the Dogon people on the Bandiagara plateau, and from the Trulli of Alberobello to the wide range of settlements classified as ‘informal’ that are still the main drivers of urban growth today, collective intelligence speaks to us of adaptation: working with nature, not against it.
How can we reconnect the old and the new to harness the infinite possibilities of collective intelligence?
