Architecture Biennale - The 19th International Architecture Exhibition
XIX Архитектурная биеннале в Венеции в 2025 году проходит под кураторством Карло Ратти – итальянского архитектора и инженера, профессора MIT и Политехнического университета Милана, директора лаборатории Senseable City Lab.
Тема выставки звучит как “Intelligens. Natural. Artificial. Collective”. Название отсылает к латинскому слову gens – «люди», подчеркивая необходимость объединения различных форм интеллекта: природного, искусственного и коллективного. Куратор предлагает переосмыслить архитектуру как дисциплину адаптации, способную реагировать на климатические и социальные вызовы.
Количество стран-участниц: 66 национальных павильонов. Среди новых участников – Азербайджан, Оман, Катар и Того.
The 19th International Architecture Exhibition will be held from Saturday 10 May to Sunday 23 November 2025 (pre-opening May 8 and 9), curated by the architect and engineer Carlo Ratti, who has commented: “To face a burning world, architecture must harness all the intelligence around us. I am honored and humbled to have the opportunity to curate the Biennale Architettura 2025”.
An architect and engineer by training, Carlo Ratti completed his PhD thesis as a Fulbright Scholar at MIT and now teaches at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and at the Politecnico di Milano. He is the director of the Senseable City Lab and a founding partner of the architecture and innovation office CRA - Carlo Ratti Associati (Torino, New York City, and London).
During a live presentation for the 19th International Architecture Exhibition, curator Carlo Ratti offered a glimpse into the programming of this year's edition. The 2025 Venice Architecture Biennale will include 66 National Pavilions, with 4 countries represented for the first time: the Republic of Azerbaijan, Sultanate of Oman, Qatar, and Togo. The exhibition, divided between the Giardini (26), at the Arsenale (22) and in the city center of Venice (15), explores the theme of "Intelligens. Natural. Artificial. Collective", gathering over 750 participants, including individuals and organizations forming interdisciplinary and multigenerational teams. According to the numbers released, this year's edition is shaping up to become the largest Architecture Biennale held in Venice.
The upcoming Biennale, under the direction of Carlo Ratti, set out to offer a multifaceted exploration of architecture's role in addressing the intertwined challenges of climate change and population evolution. The Biennale's central exhibition is structured around three thematic worlds: Natural Intelligence, Artificial Intelligence, and Collective Intelligence, culminating in a reflection on space exploration not as an escape, but as a means to improve life on Earth. The Biennale's curatorial vision transforms the event into a dynamic laboratory, bringing together architects, engineers, mathematicians, scientists, climate scholars, and other specialists to bring together diverse perspectives on architecture's responsibility to adapt to a changing world. This collaborative spirit is highlighted by an open call for submissions, ensuring diverse voices and perspectives are incorporated, expanding the traditional notion of architectural authorship.
