From Martian Hydrospheres to Forest-Like Cities: 6 Radical Urban Visions Unveiled at the Venice 2025 Architecture Biennale
Briefly

Cities are evolving into living organisms that blend digital intelligence, ecological systems, and new materials to shape future development. The "Intelligens. Natural. Artificial. Collective." biennial features over 750 participants who challenge traditional boundaries in architecture, landscape, and technology through conceptual projects. The 2025 Venice Architecture Biennale presents six speculative projects addressing self-sustaining infrastructures and data-driven interactions with environments. These speculative designs provide a fresh perspective on cohabitation, resilience, and the potential for life on Earth and beyond.
Cities are reimagined as living, evolving organisms that integrate digital intelligence, ecological systems, and new materials to shape their futures.
The exhibition showcases conceptual projects that challenge the established boundaries of architecture, landscape, and technology, envisioning new models for cohabitation and resilience.
Proposals include bio-adaptive urban systems and Martian water-based settlements, highlighting the innovative approaches architects and designers use in speculative design.
Data and sensory interfaces are explored as tools to redefine our relationship with both natural and urban environments, emphasizing the potential of unbuilt work.
