In 2022, the Venice Biennale welcomed over 800,000 guests, with nearly 700,000 attending in 2024.
This year, a massive project led by two Northeastern University labs will welcome guests to the Biennale Architettura 2025.
The Venice Biennale is really two events, held in alternating years. In even years, an arts-focused Biennale takes center stage; in odd years, focus turns to the architectural.
Most of the event takes place in the Venice Giardini (Italian for “gardens”), a large park that hosts the nearly 30 national pavilions as well as “one major exhibition space” called the Central Pavilion, which is like “a large museum,” according to Albert-László Barabási, university distinguished professor of physics and network science at Northeastern.
During the 2025 architecture Biennale, the Central Pavilion will be under renovations — and will also become a surprising canvas for a sweeping data art project that will welcome guests to the exhibition.
