Biennale Architettura in Venice

Venice is hosting this year the 19th International Architecture Exhibition, titled “Intelligens. Natural. Artificial. Collective” and curated by Carlo Ratti.

The exhibition is open to the public from May 10th to November 23rd 2025 (pre-opening May 8th - 9th) at the Giardini and the Arsenale in Venice and at the Forte Marghera in Mestre.

Carlo Ratti, curator of the 19th. Venice Architecture Biennale, said “For decades, architecture’s response to the climate crisis has been centered on mitigation—designing to reduce our impact on the climate. But that approach is no longer enough. The time has come for architecture to embrace adaptation: rethinking how we design for an altered world”

For the first time, the Exhibition features over 750 participants: architects and engineers, mathematicians and climate scientists, philosophers and artists, chefs and coders, writers and woodcarvers, farmers and fashion designers, and many more. Adaptation demands inclusivity and collaboration. From different generations: from seasoned professionals still innovating at ninety to recent graduates just beginning their careers.

The exhibition route runs along three thematic worlds: Natural Intelligence, Artificial Intelligence, and Collective Intelligence.

As usual, the main section is housed in the Central Pavilion at the Giardini venue, while the others are housed at the Arsenale and on the mainland at Forte Marghera in Mestre.

Numerous collateral events, meetings, conferences and performances are planned.
