" summary

Venice Biennale 2025 uses the motto INTELLIGENS to test natural, artificial and collective intelligence as practical tools: a living‑lab approach in fragile Venice, an open call that yields thousands of submissions, and a circularity protocol with Ellen MacArthur to reuse set materials (reconstituted timber from old furniture). A Helsinki decarbonization prototype wins via an XPrize‑style contest with 250 competing teams: it stores excess renewables as heat in cheap floating storage to feed district heating, and explores AI‑driven design workflows up to BIM while stressing human innovation.
