AbstractAbstract

The Common Direction of the Venice Biennale is the shift of architecture from static finish to continuous adjustment.Passive cooling, biomaterials, sensing feedback, and community knowledge complement each other in the same project.

2025 Timeline and Evidence

The theme of the Biennale is a clear discussion of natural, artistic and collective intelligence.

Climate change requires buildings to continue to work under the pressure of heat, flooding, energy and migration.

Low-tech strategies and digital systems are not opposites, but tools on different timescales.

Trend analysis

Adaptability is not the installation of an intelligent platform, but the ability to maintain basic performance in the change of resources and the change of use.Over-reliance on complex equipment increases the risk of maintenance, and complete rejection of technology can also lose monitoring and early warning capabilities.

Design Response Design Response

01 First, the base load is solved with orientation, shade, ventilation and materials.

Design manual mode and low-cost maintenance for critical systems.

03 Let the user participate in defining the comfort and risk thresholds.

AURELIS observation

The future of architecture will be more like a learnable protocol: materials, equipment, and people to adjust, rather than stop changing after delivery.
