From Acapulco to Copenhagen: 8 Projects Exhibited at the Venice Biennale 2025 Reclaiming Existing Architecture for Regenerative Cities
Briefly

Projects from the 2025 Venice Architecture Biennale focus on regeneration as an intentional process informed by local conditions. This year emphasizes that regeneration transcends merely replacing old structures. Successful approaches require the careful reading of contexts and the preservation of historical knowledge. Selected works illustrate regeneration arising from various strategies, including adaptive reuse, ecological restoration, and social housing renewal. Each project highlights a commitment to sensitivity towards existing materials, urban patterns, and cultural history, underscoring that effective regeneration balances innovation with the intelligence of existing assets.
Regeneration as a deliberate process must engage with specific local conditions, necessitating a careful reading of existing contexts and preserving embedded knowledge.
Six selected projects demonstrate that successful regeneration involves more than replacing the old; it requires integrating contemporary needs with respect for existing assets.
