The pre-opening days for the 2025 Venice Architecture Biennale will take place on May 8–9. Registration for accreditation will open early next year, but it’s a good idea to start planning your trip already.
The 19th Venice Architecture Biennale will open to the public on 10 May 2025 and will remain open until 23 November. The public opening is preceded by the pre-opening days, during which the national pavilions host the opening ceremonies for their exhibitions.
The opening of the exhibition at the Pavilion of Finland will take place on Thursday 8 May. The exhibition, commissioned by Archinfo, is curated by architects Ella Kaira and Matti Jänkälä. The curatorial concept, selected through an open call, explores the care and maintenance of modern architecture from a new perspective. The exhibition will be announced in February 2025. You can find more information about the curators here.
The theme of the next Architecture Biennale, Intelligens. Natural. Artificial. Collective., emphasizes the role of humanity and community in intelligent design. The main exhibitions of the Biennale are curated by Italian architect, engineer, and urban planner Carlo Ratti, who states that architecture, as well as other fields of science that shape the built environment, will be examined through this theme.

Participation in the pre-opening of the world’s most prestigious architecture event requires accreditation. We will announce the opening of the accreditation application process at the beginning of the year, but it’s a good idea to already mark the opening day, May 8th, in your calendar!
