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.
