Biennale Architettura 2025: Intelligens. Natural. Artificial. Collective.

The official catalog of the 2025 Venice Architecture Biennale is a multicultural, multinational dialogue on the future of sustainable and inclusive design

Published with La Biennale di Venezia.

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.
