Projects / Participants

Rising temperatures, rising waters, rising stakes: the looming risk of catastrophe and the expanding influence of human activity on the environment motivate our search for novel solutions.

Architecture, whose original function is to shelter human beings from the natural elements, now relies on nature to reorient practice.

Artificial intelligence is poised to destabilise the traditional role of architects. How will the profession evolve when generative models can produce construction drawings, and robots can build the structures they describe?

Fundamental to the formation of collective knowledge is exchange and mutual learning, which will demand future urbanisms that blend the local with global dialogues.

Perhaps the ultimate form of intelligence is a self-awareness: the precious fragility of our planet in the vast expanse of the universe.

The Biennale Architettura this year expands onto outdoor areas and into the city of Venice at large. These projects are installations that explore the convergence of natural, artificial, and collective intelligences across the Venetian lagoon.
