This dual ambition-questioning their own practice while contributing to a broader cultural discourse-frames each project as an evolving process, not a fixed outcome. The term "workshop" embedded in their name, New Almaty Architects Workshop, reflects this spirit of continuous testing and learning. Interiors become platforms for material research, atmospheric exploration, and critical self-evaluation. In a regional context where architectural discourse remains underrepresented internationally, their work emerges as a sustained effort to articulate identity through built experience.
The 19th International Architecture Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia, "Intelligens. Natural. Artificial. Collective.", curated by Carlo Ratti, closed on 23 November 2025 as the most visited Architecture Biennale to date. The exhibition recorded 298,000 visitors, in addition to 17,584 preview attendees, surpassing previous editions despite the temporary closure of the Central Pavilion for restoration. Bringing together 303 projects and 758 invited architects, along with 66 National Participations and 11 Collateral Events, the edition extended across the Giardini, Arsenale, and multiple sites throughout Venice.
The principles of examining creativity through the lens of neuroscience reveal a lot of the same principles that exist with AI, in a sort of a stochastic sense, And it establishes a different vehicle to look at the mechanism of creativity-through a mechanistic lens, through the lens of behavioral neurology-and I think if someone who was brilliant with AI were to come and look at this, they would see a lot of similarities and it would be, I think, very useful data.
E.A.T. emerged as a radical platform that reimagined the possibilities of creative practice through direct collaboration between artists and technologists.
