Tucked within the leafy confines of the Giardini della Biennale in Venice stands a structure modest in scale yet immense in quiet conviction: the Finland Pavilion, designed by Alvar and Elissa Aalto for the 1956 Venice Biennale. Unlike the monumental pavilions that surround it, Aalto's structure was conceived not as a permanent structure, but as a temporary exhibition space for a single exhibition season. And yet, nearly seventy years on, it remains—weathered, resilient, and quietly luminous.

The 2025 Camposaz Cultural Association workshop season kicks off in Southern Italy, in the small yet charming town of Conca della Campania, located within the Roccamonfina Foce Garigliano Regional Park.
The event is organized as part of the first edition of Mostra Mercato, one of the many initiatives of Borghi - Ruralità, biodiversità, innovazione grant. The workshop will take place in the town center, in close contact with the local community and the summer 2025 events.
Participants will build a series of mobile structures to support the market, with the ultimate goal of visually connecting the urban space involved in the exhibition. These installations, which will be entirely designed and built on site, may be inspired by the surrounding landscape and the three time periods that guide the selection of displayed objects: antiques, vintage, and modern design.

Water is not just a resource—it is a voice, a right, a system of relationships. Water shapes landscapes, communities, and futures. It nourishes, resists, and demands justice.

Children to launch unofficial street happenings during opening days of Venice Architecture Biennale 2025, exploring global challenges through play.
During the opening days of the Venice Architecture Biennale 2025, the Architectural Thinking School for Children will stage a series of unofficial street happenings across Venice as part of their ongoing project Intelligens Play Lab.
At its heart lies a question: How does children's intellect develop mechanisms for solving contemporary global challenges through the universally understood medium of play?
In the spirit of reclaiming public space, children will activate Venetian streets with street games they have designed themselves—each one tackling themes such as forced migration, climate change, dictatorship, war, and more. These happenings temporarily transform the city into a public laboratory of ideas, where children's perspectives become both the method and the message.
Just decades ago, the streets of Venice—like those in many cities—belonged to children. Through the improvisational logic of play, they rehearsed futures they could not yet name. Intelligens Play Lab revives that logic, now focused on the pressing crises of today.
The project is developed by the Architectural Thinking School for Children, a think tank of children and interdisciplinary professionals. Founded in Minsk in 2016 and relocated to Lisbon in 2022, the School works at the intersection of architecture, pedagogy, and social research—empowering children aged 5 to 15, many of them migrants, to become full participants in cultural life.

The Pavilion of the Republic of Kosovo at the 19th International Venice Architecture Biennale presents Lulebora nuk çel më. Emerging Assemblages, a sensorial exploration of rupture and reconfiguration in Kosovo’s shifting landscapes: the uprooting of ecological relationships and embodied knowledge systems under climate pressure, and the new forms of sense-making that emerge in liminal spaces of uncertainty.
