Biennale Architettura 2025
Intelligens. Natural. Artificial. Collective.
Giardini, Arsenale, Forte Marghera – Venice, Italy
May 10 – November 23, 2025

The 19th International Architecture Exhibition, titled Intelligens. Natural. Artificial. Collective., curated by Carlo Ratti and organised by La Biennale di Venezia, will open to the public from Saturday May 10 to Sunday November 23, 2025, at the Giardini, the Arsenale and at the Forte Marghera. The pre-opening will take place on May 8 and 9; the awards ceremony and inauguration will be held on Saturday May 10, 2025.

The Corderie opens with a stark confrontation: global temperatures rise while global populations fall. This is the reality architects must face in a time of adaptation. From here visitors will traverse three thematic worlds: Natural Intelligence, Artificial Intelligence, and Collective Intelligence. The Exhibition design by architecture and design office Sub, directed by Niklas Bildstein Zaar, and the graphic design by Bänziger Hug Kasper Florio mirrors the interconnectedness we need to survive. Digital layers amplify and expand conversations, adding a new dimension to the exhibition.

Since 2021, La Biennale di Venezia launched a plan to reconsider all of its activities in light of recognized and consolidated principles of environmental sustainability. For the year 2025, the goal is to obtain the “carbon neutrality” certification in accordance with the new ISO 14068 standard, for all of La Biennale’s scheduled activities: the 82nd Venice International Film Festival, the Theatre, Music and Dance Festivals and, in particular, the 19th International Architecture Exhibition.

A Circular Economy Manifesto launched by Carlo Ratti, with guidance from Arup and input from the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, strengthens La Biennale’s commitment to this goal, promoting an increasingly sustainable model for the design, installation and operation of all its activities and events. The challenge is to create pavilions and spaces that are examples of a bold circular thinking that offer a lasting sustainability legacy. The goal is to eliminate waste, circulate materials and regenerate natural systems proving that architecture and our built environment can coexist harmoniously with our planet.
