At the 2025 Venice Biennale Architettura, I represented the Fab City Foundation as a partner of GreenInCities, an EU-funded project asking how cities can grow as living, learning ecosystems rather than fixed artefacts.
The pavilions treated nature as structure and subject, from microbial facades to soil-based 3D printing that lets buildings sprout and decompose. That thinking runs straight through our GreenInCities pilots in Barcelona, Birstonas and Nova Gorica, where residents use Smart Citizen Kits and participatory design to track biodiversity, restore flood zones and shape space for humans and non-humans alike.
The Biennale reaffirmed our case: urban change comes not from single interventions but from connected systems, open tools, local fabrication and circular production linked across a distributed network.
