How can a building evolve alongside the people who inhabit it?
With the City of Naples, we’re reimagining Le Vele — the iconic modernist complex by Franz Di Salvo — through a collective process of memory, design, and AI.
Stories become spaces. Voices become visions.
At the Biennale Architettura 2025, a suspended model of Vela Celeste presents AI-generated futures born from community input — a dialogue between memory and transformation.
Not demolition. Not nostalgia. But design in progress.

The 19th International Architecture Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia, curated by Carlo Ratti, opened to the public over the weekend.
We’re excited to share a little behind the scenes of the work that went into bringing Senseable’s Data Clouds ☁️ and Re-Leaf 🌳 exhibitions to life.
Special thanks to our collaborators at @mit @harvardgsd @journeydotworld and beyond!

Let’s talk architecture futures - together!
As part of the GENS Public Programme, Workshops kick off on Thursday 8 May, during the pre-opening of the 19th International Architecture Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia, curated by Carlo Ratti.
Taking place at the Speakers’ Corner in the Corderie dell’Arsenale — designed by Christopher Hawthorne, Johnston Marklee, and Florencia Rodriguez — these Workshops invite the public to engage directly with the themes of Intelligens. Natural. Artificial. Collective.
Throughout the six months of the Exhibition, the Workshops will activate conversations, ideas, and actions — from architectural critique to collective intelligence in response to the climate crisis.
📍 The GENS Programme is live and evolving: head to labiennale.org for the full calendar and updates.

Kicking off the preview days of Biennale Architettura 2025!
“In times of adaptation, architecture needs to draw on multiple forms of intelligence: natural, artificial, and collective. In times of adaptation, architecture needs to reach out across generations and across disciplines, from the hard sciences to the arts. In times of adaptation, architecture must rethink authorship and become more inclusive. Architecture must become as flexible and dynamic as the world we are now designing for.” #CarloRatti

🍃Re-Leaf🍃 transforms tree distribution data in Amsterdam, Dubai, Los Angeles, and Rome, into dynamic “green skyscrapers”: physical models that allow visitors to intuitively compare vegetation density across very different climates and urban forms.
We are excited to see this exhibition come to life in just about a week!
