At the 2025 Venice Biennale, intelligence is grouped into categories like natural, artificial, and collective. While robotic innovativeness gains attention, the essential aspect of collective intelligence through archiving is emphasized. National pavilions, such as the Spanish Pavilion's engaging models, reflect this intelligence. The article argues that critical engagement with past architectural works through well-curated archives can inspire new interpretations and futures. This approach fosters connections among projects that reshape our understanding of architecture's role in society, signifying that archiving transcends mere preservation to become a provocative tool for innovation.
A well-curated archiveâanchored by a clear theme and a broad selection of worksâdoes more than preserve the past. It reinterprets it.
Without critically engaging with the past, the potential of collective intelligence remains incomplete. Archiving is not simply an act of preservation; it is a generative tool for projecting new futures.
