Talks at the Venice Biennale | Episode 4. Land Lores: soil stories from Latvia and Lebanon
In this episode, we are delighted to bring into conversation two national participations which include that of Latvia and Lebanon through the voices of Liene Jākobsone, co-curator along Ilka Ruby, & Shereen Doummar as part of the Collective for Architecture Lebanon. The two projects respectively titled “Landscape of Defense” and “The Land Remembers" address the land and the impact that ongoing wars are having on this, from Lebanon’s devastating ecocide to the fortifications which are being erected on Latvia's eastern border with Russia.Talks at the Venice Biennale is a podcast curated and produced by KoozArch Studio.Post-production: Khaled Nadim Graphics by KoozArch Studio.

Talks at the Venice Biennale | Episode 3. Paraíso, hoje. (Paradise, today.): On the Portuguese Pavilion
In this third episode of the series, we focus on the Portuguese participation in the Biennale. Titled Paraíso, hoje. (Paradise, today), the exhibition is curated by Paula Melâneo, Pedro Bandeira, Luca Martinucci and deputy curators Catarina Raposo and Nuno Cera. Challenging nostalgic or utopian ideas of paradise, Paraíso, hoje proposes paradise as a present and active condition—something to be reclaimed through collective responsibility, critical optimism, and dignified action. Specifically, in this episode we tune into the voices of landscape architect and deputy curator of “Paraíso, hoje.”, Catarina Raposo, Director and Chief Curator of the Canadian Centre for Architecture, Giovanna Borasi, The Architectural Review’s Editor-in-Chief Manon Mollard, and sound artist and publisher Nuno da Luz, moderated by curator, critic and communication strategist Julia Alban to discuss the concept of "paradise" in the context of environmental challenges and the importance of collective imagination in addressing these.Talks at the Venice Biennale is a podcast curated and produced by KoozArch Studio.Post-production: Khaled Nadim Graphics by KoozArch Studio.

Talks at the Venice Biennale | Episode 2. Building Biospheres: Inside the Belgian Pavilion
In this second episode, we focus on the Belgian participation. Titled Building Biospheres, the exhibition, curated by the teams of Bas Smets and Stefano Mancuso, is a prototype for the ongoing research on the possible impact of plant intelligence on architecture, and more specifically on the indoor climate. The notion of plant intelligence is explored through the climatic environment within the pavilion, regulated entirely by plants and flora which communicate with digitally calibrated systems. A product of a ten-year long conversation, the premise of the project is to underline the paradigm that architecture should support life — beyond the human.Talks at the Venice Biennale is a podcast curated and produced by KoozArch Studio.Post-production: Khaled Nadim Graphics by KoozArch Studio.

Talks at the Venice Biennale | Episode 1. Intelligens. Natural. Artificial. Collective.
In the first episode of Talks at the Venice Biennale, we sit down with the curator Carlo Ratti to indulge in his curatorial process and vision. Taking on the mantle of directorship for La Biennale di Venezia is no small feat; in this episode, recorded shortly before the opening, Ratti emphasises the chorus of voices brought together in his exhibition, from disciplines adjacent to and even seemingly removed from conventional architectural practice. By bringing together various forms of intelligence to inform the future of spatial practice, Ratti’s curatorial composition suggests ways in which architecture could foster a harmony of the spheres.Talks at the Venice Biennale is a podcast curated and produced by KoozArch Studio.Post-production: Khaled Nadim Graphics by KoozArch Studio.

The 2025 iteration of the Venice Biennale — titled Intelligens. Natural. Artificial. Collective — gathers together a broad swathe of scientists, economists, agencies and expertise to supplement and inform new directions in architectural practice, in order to build more promising and sustainable futures.
