Park with Accurat and Politecnico di Milano at the Biennale Architettura 2025
We are proud to be among the participants of the 19th International Architecture Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia, curated by Carlo Ratti, selected through an open call to contribute to the dialogue on exploring intelligent solutions to pressing problems in the construction industry. Under the overarching theme of “Intelligens. Natural. Artificial. Collective”, the Biennale Architettura 2025 explores intelligence as a fundamental tool in contemporary architecture, guiding new approaches to sustainable and adaptable design.
"The building sector is a major consumer of raw materials, significantly affecting ecological, economic, and social equilibrium. Architects must shift the paradigm, transforming waste into a resource and embedding it within both the design process and its outcomes.”
says Filippo Pagliani, Founding Partner of Park.
With the installation Resourceful Intelligence, Park together with Accurat and Gabriele Masera’s team investigate strategies to minimize material consumption by repurposing and enhancing the value of existing resources within the urban environment. Through two urban development projects in Milan, the installation examines the potential of selective deconstruction and urban material mapping, demonstrating how the built environment can serve as an active resource for urban regeneration. The goal is to promote a shift in architectural practice, moving away from a model reliant on raw material extraction toward circular processes that create long-term value. Park’s participation in the Biennale Architettura 2025 is part of a broader research initiative dedicated to exploring sustainable, adaptable, and context-aware architectural models.
Resourceful Intelligence is a project by Park, Accurat, Prof. Gabriele Masera, Prof. Francesco Pittau, Michele Versaci - Department of Architecture, Built Environment and Construction Engineering, Politecnico di Milano
