🎭 VENICE BIENNALE 2025: WHERE ARCHITECTURE INTERTWINES WITH DECORATIVE ARTS

The Venice Architecture Biennale 2025 takes place from May 10 to November 23, under the theme “Intelligens: Nature. Artificial. Collective,” curated by architect Carlo Ratti from MIT.
This event gathers over 750 artists, designers, scientists, and artisans from around the world, forming a multidimensional creative space where architecture and decorative art blend seamlessly, sparking fresh, inspiring trends.

 

    

 

Key Trends Influencing Decorative Arts:

  • Material Reuse and Circularity:
    Serbia’s pavilion features a ceiling made from handwoven wool and robotics, gradually dismantled by solar-powered motors — a striking example of circular design.
  • Fusion of Tradition and Technology:
    Australia’s pavilion presents “Home,” with curved rammed-earth walls and sand-filled ceremonial spaces. It blends indigenous knowledge with modern architecture, creating culturally rich decorative environments.
  • Biomaterials and 3D Printing:
    Canada’s “Picoplanktonics” showcases 3D-printed structures made from living cyanobacteria, introducing a new direction for sustainable, eco-interactive decorative art.
  • Exploration of Space and Light:
    The Netherlands transforms its pavilion into an unconventional sports bar, offering a uniquely decorated environment that fosters interaction and immersive experience.
  • Cultural and Historical Dialogue:
    The UK pavilion’s “Geology of Britannic Repair” features decorative elements like beaded curtains and cave replicas, crafting an artistic space that reflects history and intercultural relationships.

🎨 Venice Biennale 2025 is not only a celebration of architecture but also a dynamic platform for decorative arts, where new trends are tested and evolved. The fusion of traditional materials with modern technology, and local cultures with global perspectives, opens exciting new pathways for the future of decorative artistry.
