The Brazilian Pavilion at the 19th Venice Architecture Biennale showcases (RE)INVENTION, an exhibition that merges ancient Amazonian knowledge with present-day urban practices. Curated by Luciana Saboia, Eder Alencar, and Matheus Seco, the exhibition is structured in two acts: the first reflects Indigenous relationships to land through biodegradable materials, while the second examines contemporary Brazilian infrastructure through local case studies. The curators advocate for a more symbiotic coexistence between humans and the environment, using design elements such as suspended wood panels to symbolize ecological balance. The exhibition is open until November 2025.
At the 19th Venice Architecture Biennale, Brazil presents (RE)INVENTION, a two-part exhibition that connects ancient Amazonian knowledge with contemporary urban practices.
'While not strictly architectural, these earth formations have been reinterpreted through architectural tools (...) enabling a new reading of their spatial intelligence,' the curators note.
'These examples suggest that infrastructure, when grounded in local knowledge and environmental conditions, can support a more symbiotic coexistence between people, built environments, and ecosystems,' the curators share.
'This literal structural balance becomes a metaphor for the broader ecological and social equilibrium the exhibition seeks to promote,' they explain.
