Venice Architecture Biennale 2025: Architecture as Practice

The 2025 Venice Architecture Biennale, titled 'Una Biennale per un’Architettura “del fare”' (A Biennale for an Architecture of Doing), will run from May 8 to November 21, 2025, in Venice. The event focuses on architecture as a hands-on, practical discipline, emphasizing making and construction over theory. The Biennale is organized by La Biennale di Venezia, with the exhibition spread across the Giardini and Arsenale venues. The theme encourages architects to engage directly with materials, processes, and communities, reflecting a shift toward actionable, socially engaged architecture. The event includes national pavilions, a central exhibition curated by the appointed director, and collateral events throughout the city. The Biennale aims to address contemporary challenges such as sustainability, urbanization, and social equity through built interventions. The exact curator and full list of participants have not been disclosed in the source. The Biennale is a major international platform for architecture, attracting architects, designers, and critics from around the world.
