Save this picture!

Invited by Carlo Ratti, PILLS is participating in the main exhibit’s Special Project with the research, writing, and design of the Circularity Handbook and its Spatial Installation.

Positioned in the core area of the Arsenale, the work comprises two main components: The Circularity Handbook — a sustainability guide tailored for all participants of the Biennale; A spatial installation derived from the handbook — a modular, demountable structure that translates text into a tangible, immersive experience. Together, the two parts form a cohesive framework, exploring sustainable pathways across the full lifecycle of an exhibition.

The 19th International Architecture Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia is scheduled to take place from May 10 to November 23, 2025. This year’s theme, "Intelligens: Natural, Artificial, Collective", presents a critical proposition for our ecological future: How can design enable the natural, artificial, and collective intelligence thrive together?
Under the guidance of Chief Curator Carlo Ratti and his Circular Economy Manifesto, the Biennale aims to become the first to achieve a “zero-waste” exhibition, redefining the very notion of the architectural exhibition as a temporary space through a sustainable lens.

Exhibition dates: Saturday 10 May to Sunday 23 November 2025
Venue: Arsenale, Biennale Architettura 2025
