Another day, another romp through what’s on at the Biennale Architettura 2025. In case you missed them, check out our dispatches from earlier this week for more takes on the national pavilions and low-downs on the talks and exhibitions happening in Venice. Beyond the rammed earth utilized in the U.S. Pavilion, soil had a good showing this year. Australia’s pavilion, themed Home, centered objects and discourse from its First Nations team, and includes a circular earth-clad wall and bench.

Live from Venice: Ratti’s remarks, restaging criticism, drinking the canal Kool-Aid, and weak national pavilions

In remarks given in Italian as a warm-up act for Carlo Ratti, La Biennale president Pietrangelo Buttafuoco said that he has a “special capacity that lies in being attentive to the murmurs of the world.”Ratti’s press conference took the tone of an academic lecture, which is no surprise coming from the MIT professor.

A film industry veteran turned historian explores the relationship between Hollywood and architecture in Seth Rogen’s The Studio

1 week ago | archpaper.com | Enrique Ramirez

There’s a shot in Apple TV+’s The Studio that keeps gnawing at me: the camera tracking through the Warner Brothers backlot in Burbank, soundstages rising like sandstone cliffs, creating a world simultaneously claustrophobic and infinite. It evokes the cover art to Pink Floyd’s 1975 album Wish You Were Here—two businessmen shaking hands, one engulfed in flames. It’s a perfect metaphor for Hollywood’s Faustian bargain, where ambition meets money in a handshake that always leaves someone burning.

Writer, curator, and filmmaker residency dot.ateliers | Ogbojo emerges from a wave of production-led artist residencies which have recently begun popping up along West Africa. A few things set it apart from the rest: It’s centered on rest and relaxation; it focuses on non-commercial opportunities as well as work that lies in tandem with communities; and it’s located in a meditative campus by DeRoché Strohmayer.
Ten projects by BIG, Frank Gehry, Studio Gang, and others reshaping Toronto’s skyline

Canada Prime Minister Mark Carney wants to hit the ground running: “Build baby build” were among his first words after winning this week’s election. Toronto, Canada’s finance capital, is already booming—construction cranes are ubiquitous in the city of 3 million people.
