The Biennale Architettura 2025 will take place from 10 May to 23 November 2025 (pre-opening 8 and 9 May) at the Giardini, the Arsenale and various venues in Venice. The President of La Biennale di Venezia, Pietrangelo Buttafuoco, and the Curator of the 19th International Architecture Exhibition, Carlo Ratti, announced the title of the Exhibition: Intelligens. Natural. Artificial. Collective.
Explaining his choice Carlo Ratti said that «In 2025 the title of the International Architecture Exhibition will be condensed into a single word for both English and Italian via the common Latin precedent: Intelligens. The title Intelligens is linked to the modern term “intelligence,” but it also evokes a wider set of associated meanings. In fact, the final syllable, “gens” is Latin for “people”. A new, fictional root emerges, suggesting a future of intelligence that is inclusive, multiple, and imaginative beyond today’s limiting focus on AI.
