The Argentinian Pavilion at the 2025 Venice Architecture Biennale will feature “Siestario,” a project by architects Juan Manuel Pachué and Marco Zampieron, with Brian Ejsmont as a collaborator. The project was selected from an open competition organized by the Directorate of Cultural Affairs of the Argentine Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Chamber of Urban Developers (CEDU).
The “Siestario” project presents a reflection on the relationship between architecture and time. The space invites visitors to experience a momentary interruption in their journey, where time is suspended, and the experience of the ‘siesta’ becomes a metaphor for pause and connection. A reproduction of the silo bag, a temporary storage system widely used in agriculture and a symbol of the Argentine countryside and economy, will serve as a device for resting the body.
The 2025 Venice Architecture Biennale, curated by Carlo Ratti, will focus on the interconnectedness of architecture with diverse disciplines. The Biennale will take place from May 10 to November 23, 2025.
Other countries have also announced their participation in the Biennale. The Belgian Pavilion will present a project curated by landscape architect Bas Smets, while Brazil’s proposal aims to open a dialogue on the role of architecture in addressing global challenges.
