Catalonia's Water Parliaments at 2025 Venice Architecture Biennale
The 19th International Architecture Exhibition, known as La Biennale di Venezia, is showcasing a Catalan event called 'Catalonia in Venice_Water Parliaments: Projective Ecosocial Architectures.' This initiative, led by curators Eva Franch i Gilabert, Mireia Luzárraga, and Alejandro Muiño from TAKK studio, presents seven installations at Docks Cantieri Cucchini that address the urgent water crisis. These installations, including Fontane dei Dati and Comunità di Falde Acquifere, highlight water issues in Catalonia, Valencia, and the Balearic Islands while offering global solutions. Supported by the Institut Ramon Llull and COAC, the project also features participatory workshops at six hydrological locations. It runs until November 23, 2025, accompanied by the book '100 Words for Water: A Vocabulary.'
