Biennale Architettura 2025 : Intelligens. Natural. Artificial. Collective

As Italian architect, engineer and curator Carlo Ratti puts it, "Architecture has always been a response to a hostile climate … our creations have always striven to bridge the gap between a harsh environment and the safe, livable spaces we require. Today, that dynamic approach is being taken to a new level―as climate becomes less forgiving. We have witnessed firsthand how water and fire are attacking us with unprecedented ferocity."
This two-volume publication accompanies the 19th International Architecture Exhibition in Venice, titled Intelligens. Natural. Artificial. Collective. Contributions from more than 750 participants―including architects and engineers, mathematicians and climate scientists, philosophers and artists, chefs and coders, writers and woodcarvers, farmers and fashion designers, and many more―explore how effective methods of adaptation to our changing environment demand inclusivity and collaboration.
