A Fragile Correspondence - Scotland + Venice
Organizing Institution: Scotland + Venice
Language is powerful and shapes how we understand the world around us.
How can a closer relationship between land and language help architecture be more attuned to the environment in which it operates? 
Highlighting cultures and languages that have a close affinity with the landscapes of Scotland, A Fragile Correspondence explores new perspectives and approaches to the worldwide climate emergency. The project takes us through three Scottish landscapes; the Highlands, Islands, and Lowlands. Writers, artists, and architects explore issues distinctly rooted in place, but with global relevance to the cultural, ecological, and climatic issues that we face.
Venue: Docks Cantieri Cucchini, S. Pietro di Castello 40
Opening period: May 20 – November  26, 2023
Opening hours/closing days: from 20 May to 30 September: 11 am – 7 pm; from 1 October to 26 November: 10 am – 6 pm; closed on Mondays (except on 22/05, 14/08, 4/09, 16/10, 30/10, 20/11)

Catalonia in Venice_ Following the Fish
Organizing Institution: Institut Ramon Llull
A street market and a reparations workshop that emerged from Leve alliance with Top Manta, a cooperative founded by African street vendors in Barcelona. This coming together has encouraged the creation of alternate architectures to the hegemonic ones. Despite Europe’s pillaging of their local fish supply, forcing their departure, in their manoeuvring of the traps set by Fortress Europe and through political and creative struggles, they have been capable of offering other ways of living, of repairing what has failed in the cities (that have failed to) receive them.
Through the constructive perspective of migrant communities, we seek to redefine the places whence architecture is made.
Venue: Docks Cantieri Cucchini, San Pietro di Castello 40A
Opening period: May 20 – November  26, 2023
Opening hours/closing days: from 20 May to 30 September: 11 am – 7 pm; from 1 October to 26 November: 10 am – 6 pm; closed on Mondays (except on 22/05, 14/08, 4/09, 16/10, 30/10, 20/11)

Climate Wunderkammer
Organizing Institution: RWTH Aachen University
The Climate Wunderkammer aims to immerse ourselves in a multi-sensory experience of climate change impact while sharing practical solutions to address and adapt to it. It exhibits a collection of narratives from our planet through drawings, videos, and voice recordings, a Wunderkammer of messages in bottles to open and discover. In each story depicting the threat and impact of climate change, we present tentative answers to adapt or address the new condition to inspire places undergoing similar climate trends in the future. This project sets up a global platform for sharing knowledge and mutual learning, especially learning from the most fragile places undergoing the impact of climate change.
Venue: IUAV Palazzo Badoer ground floor – Calle de la Laca, San Polo 2468
Opening period: May 20 – November  26, 2023
Opening hours/closing days: from Monday to Friday 10 am – 6 pm; closed on 2/06, 14-18/08, 1/11, 20-21/11; further closing days due to maintenance will be duly communicated by the organizing institution.

Diachronic Apparatuses of Taiwan
Architecture as on-going details within landscape
Organizing Institution: National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts
The project encourages a dialogue between synthetic and real ground. Humankind respected the land with due awe in pre-history time. Gaining confidence with the sophisticated tools, it began to ask for more than survival or comfort. The project presents an inventory of landscapes across different latitudes and altitudes in Taiwan. The varied topography and evolutionary processes have given birth to rich biodiversity and diverse floral and forestry forms. Therefore, sectional analyses of the island may bear clues to the search for new architecture. And this is also the result that this project attempts to present.
Venue: Palazzo delle Prigioni, Castello 4209
Opening period: May 20 – November  26, 2023
Opening hours/closing days: from 20 May to 30 September: 11 am – 7 pm; from 1 October to 26 November: 10 am – 6 pm; closed on Mondays (except on 22/05, 14/08, 4/09, 16/10, 30/10, 20/11)

Young Talent 2023
aims to support the talent of recently graduated architects, urban planners, and landscape architects who will be responsible for transforming our environment in the future. Young Talent emerged from curiosity about and interest in the initial stages in these students’ development and a desire to support their talent as they enter the professional world. Four winners have been chosen in April 2023 by an international Jury from among twelve finalists, and a group of shortlisted works has also been selected. The results of the process are now shown by presenting models, drawings, and videos of the projects.

Radical yet possible future space solutions
Organizing Institution: New European Bauhaus, Joint Research Centre of the European Commission
In the Petri-dish of this New European Bauhaus Biennale two-day conference, we want to reflect on radical human actions leading to a better use of spaces and resources. We explore non-existing but wishful human endeavours such as the decarbonisation of human desires or decolonisation of nature from human needs. The close collaboration between the speakers, students, and Biennale Architettura visitors in talks, discussions, and workshops makes this two-day event a radical laboratory of the future and creates opportunities to experiment, discover, and design the future with the power of our minds.
Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, kicks off the debates.
Conference schedule:
May 25 2023 at IUAV Ca’ Tron, Santa Croce 1957 from 3 pm to 6 pm
May 26 2023 at IUAV Aula Magna Tolentini, Santa Croce 191 from 11 am to 5:30 pm

Students as Researchers: Creative Practice and University Education
Organizing Institution: New York Institute of Technology
University education represents an opportunity to develop radical visions that can challenge the conventionality of market-oriented societies. The talent and freshness of students can positively contribute to an inevitable environmental revolution that recognises the needs of transforming the obsolete metabolism of the city from energy eater to power generator without compromising the well-being of future generations. Implying the exchange of ideas with the students, teaching can also become a research instrument, as well, if fuelled by bi directional teaching models in which the role of teacher and learner can potentially switch.
Venue: Centro Studi e Documentazione della Cultura Armena, Dorsoduro 1602
Opening period: May 20 – November  26, 2023
Opening hours/closing days: from 20 May to 30 September: 11 am – 7 pm; from 1 October to 26 November: 10 am – 6 pm; closed on Mondays (except on 22/05, 14/08, 4/09, 16/10, 30/10, 20/11)

Tracé Bleu
Que faire en ce lieu, à moins que l’on y songe?
Organizing Institution:  CA’ASI
In the face of overwhelming environmental challenges, the Tracé Bleu is simultaneously an approach, a method, and an inquiry, a collective invitation to transform, stimulate, and extend these questions through the gesture. This project proposes a sensitive and active immersion through works by Krijn de Koning, Jonathas de Andrade, Joanie Lemercier, and ‘fragments’ put into images by the French illustrator Serge Bloch, a multitude of elements of urban and architectural projects, which present circular and regenerative uses of resources.
Venue: Campiello Santa Maria Nova 6024
Opening period: May 20 – November  26, 2023
Opening hours/closing days: from Wednesday to Sunday, 11 am – 6:30 pm.

Transformative Hong Kong
Organizing Institutions:  Hong Kong Arts Development Council + Hong Kong Institute of Architects Biennale Foundation
After significant earlier urban metamorphoses, Hong Kong is on the brink of another transformative moment with large territorial scale projects and new policies driving the next phase of change. Faced with increasingly complex environmental and social issues, architectural practices embrace new multidisciplinary approaches. While the 4th Industrial Revolution is having a broad impact, institutions and the creative communities are also evolving, using the city as a ‘laboratory’. The installation is organised in three scales to capture the Territorial, Architectural, and Public Space Transformations, and presents twelve projects addressing the issues ensuing from this transformative moment.
Venue: Campo della Tana, Castello 2126
Opening period: May 20 – November  26, 2023
Opening hours/closing days: from 20 May to 30 September: 11 am. – 7 pm; from 1 October to 26 November: 10 am – 6 pm; closed on Mondays (except on 22/05, 14/08, 4/09, 16/10, 30/10, 20/11)
