Talks at the Venice Biennale | Episode 1. Intelligens. Natural. Artificial. Collective.

Season 1 · Episode 1

Friday, May 2, 2025 • Duration 23:48

In the first episode of Talks at the Venice Biennale, we sit down with the curator Carlo Ratti to indulge in his curatorial process and vision. Taking on the mantle of directorship for La Biennale di Venezia is no small feat; in this episode, recorded shortly before the opening, Ratti emphasises the chorus of voices brought together in his exhibition, from disciplines adjacent to and even seemingly removed from conventional architectural practice. By bringing together various forms of intelligence to inform the future of spatial practice, Ratti’s curatorial composition suggests ways in which architecture could foster a harmony of the spheres.

Talks at the Venice Biennale | Episode 2. Building Biospheres: Inside the Belgian Pavilion

Season 1 · Episode 2

Tuesday, May 6, 2025 • Duration 35:07

In this second episode, we focus on the Belgian participation. Titled Building Biospheres, the exhibition, curated by the teams of Bas Smets and Stefano Mancuso, is a prototype for the ongoing research on the possible impact of plant intelligence on architecture, and more specifically on the indoor climate. The notion of plant intelligence is explored through the climatic environment within the pavilion, regulated entirely by plants and flora which communicate with digitally calibrated systems. A product of a ten-year long conversation, the premise of the project is to underline the paradigm that architecture should support life — beyond the human.
