Introduction

The President

Pietrangelo Buttafuoco

“An itinerary in the form of a mandate for the year 2025. In which every section is wilfully sealed with a question mark, the punctuation of possibilities and thus abode of the future. The answers to these questions will lay the foundations for the 19^th International Architecture Exhibition”.

The Curator

Carlo Ratti

“The Exhibition will search for a path forward, proposing that intelligent solutions to pressing problems can take many forms. It will present a collection of design proposals and many other experiments, exploring a definition of “intelligence” as an ability to adapt to the environment with limited resources, knowledge, or power”.
