The 19th International Architecture Exhibition, titled “Intelligens. Natural. Artificial. Collective.,” will open on May 10, 2025, and run until November 23, 2025, at the Giardini, Arsenale, and Forte Marghera in Venice, Italy.
Curated by Carlo Ratti and organized by La Biennale di Venezia, the exhibition features over 750 participants from 66 nations, showcasing their work in the historic Pavilions of the Giardini, Arsenale, and city center of Venice.
“With the venue of the Central Pavilion under renovation in 2025, Venice will not just host the Biennale Architettura—it will become a living laboratory,” said Carlo Ratti, Curator of the 19th International Architecture Exhibition. “The city itself – one of the most imperiled on Earth in the face of a changing climate—will serve as the backdrop for a new kind of Exhibition, where installations, prototypes, and experiments are scattered across the Giardini, the Arsenale and other neighborhoods.”
The exhibition calls for architecture to collaborate with all forms of intelligence to address the climate crisis and rethink the built environment. It challenges traditional notions of authorship, proposing a more inclusive model inspired by scientific research.
La Biennale di Venezia has launched a plan to reconsider all its activities in light of environmental sustainability principles. The organization aims to obtain carbon neutrality certification for all its events in 2025.
