The 19th Venice Architecture Biennale showcases Carlo Ratti's critical examination of architecture's role in climate challenges. The Corderie dell'Arsenale features provocative installations: 'Terms and Conditions,' which confronts the hidden costs of air conditioning, and 'The Third Paradise Perspective,' envisioning a harmonious future through the integration of the natural and artificial. These artworks stimulate discourse on environmental inequity and advocate for collaborative approaches in response to the architectural dilemmas created by contemporary climate conditions, emphasizing the need for transformation both in thought and practice.
In a striking installation, visitors experience the uncomfortable reality of air conditioning as it emphasizes the waste and inequities associated with climate control, prompting a collective reckoning.
The Third Paradise Perspective installation envisions Venice's climate futures, merging natural and artificial realms, while proposing architecture as a medium for planetary care and collective action.
