At this year's architecture biennale, Carlo Ratti advocates for shifting focus from immediate decarbonization fantasies to practical adaptations in architecture for a rapidly changing environment. His theme "intelligens" encourages a broad exploration from AI architecture to Venice's public transport. The biennale serves as a critical forum for architectural discourse amidst ongoing critiques of the industry's practices. The Belgian pavilion, curated by Bas Smets, presents a biosphere project that explores using plant life to modify urban climates, demonstrating an innovative approach to making cities more sustainable and connected to nature.
Ratti suggests moving away from the fantasy of instant decarbonization in architecture, focusing instead on adaptive strategies for our rapidly changing climate.
The Belgian pavilion curated by Bas Smets aims to demonstrate how strategic planting can effectively regulate and cool urban environments, showcasing an innovative biosphere.
