From May 10th to November 23rd, 2025
Private guided tours of Venice Biennale 2025! Here are some photographs of
Intelligens. Natural. Artificial. Collective, the
Biennale – Architecture exhibit, curated by
Carlo Ratti, which opened on Saturday May 10th.
It displays the works of more than
750 participants which involve the
use of AI, focusing on
new materials and on the dramatic conditions of our Planet Earth.
Do not miss it!
Corderie
Hundreds of projects are presented at the Corderie.
Honestly, it’s way too much, there’s quite
a bit of confusion, it becomes difficult to appreciate those interesting projects that would really deserve better attention.
The use of AI is predominant; however, it becomes evident that such technology could be really
helpful in controlling the climate crisis and in the research for new materials in order to create some form of
sustainable architecture for our world.
There are
three main sections (Natural-Artificial-Collective Intelligence) and a fourth one, called Out.
Here we can get in touch with works made out of
wood, patiently carved by artisans and by a mechanical arm, the mass transport planning for the countries of the so called
Third World,
bricks made out of elephant dung,
banana, algae and shell fibers. And also
anthropomorphic robots, new agricultural methods, waste recycling.
Quite interesting appears the possibility of comparing different ideas and possible solutions to the problems the world is facing.
Arsenale
The national pavilions at the
Arsenale are definitely interesting.
