The Building Biospheres exhibition, curated by Bas Smets and Stefano Mancuso at the 2025 Venice Architecture Biennale, showcases an innovative microclimate with over 400 plants. This installation explores plant intelligence and the potential for future biospheres. The controlled environment utilizes advanced monitoring technology to tend to the plantsâ needs, activating water or artificial light as required. The project signifies a shift towards a symbiotic relationship where humans support technological systems in maintaining plant health, rather than directly intervening in their care.
"The smart monitoring system gathers data based on the behavior of the plants and activates the necessary means to keep them from withering."
"In this utopic realm, fuse-like boxes cling onto the growing plants, monitoring their state and health."
