The Belgian pavilion at the Biennale Architettura 2025 presents a radical experiment that challenges the relationship between nature, technology and architecture. Curated by landscape architect Bas Smets in collaboration with neurobiologist Stefano Mancuso, Building Biospheres explores how plant intelligence can shape the built environment, creating self-regulating microclimates that redefine our human notions of comfort and control. For centuries, architecture has sought to control and isolate us from the natural world, engineering environments that prioritize human comfort over ecological collaboration. Building Biospheres proposes a new paradigm: rather than resisting nature, can we design with it?
