A new era for architecture: sensitive, composite, shared
From May 10 to November 23, 2025, the 19th Venice Architecture Biennale, curated by architect and engineer Carlo Ratti, promises to mark a major shift. Its theme — “Intelligens. Natural. Artificial. Collective.” — is a coined term that merges intelligence, nature and collaboration. It challenges us to rethink architecture as a dialogue between human knowledge, technological power and environmental memory.
More than a manifesto, this edition calls for a paradigm shift: to conceive space not as a fixed object but as a living interface between humans, their environment and emerging technologies.

FG Design: shaping spaces that think with us
At FG Design, this theme resonates deeply. For several years, we’ve been designing spaces that integrate multiple forms of intelligence:
Human intelligence, rooted in uses, emotions and real-life needs;
Collective intelligence, built through co-design with clients, partners and end-users;
Augmented intelligence, driven by data, 3D modelling, mixed reality and logistical automation.
Each project becomes a dynamic ecosystem, designed to evolve, interact and adapt over time.
From scenography to meaning: building experiences that matter
Whether we design a booth, a showroom or a corporate space, each environment is created as a narrative and relational tool.
For Teoxane, we designed a space that balances high-end technical precision with the sensory appeal of materials. The architecture blends formal rigour with a calming atmosphere, echoing the brand’s aesthetic approach to care. A refined dialogue between scientific precision and emotional intelligence.
For Bollé Safety, we focused on the theme of perception: dynamic lines, contrasting textures, and a multi-sensory journey.
In both cases, design is not just about aesthetics — it’s about strategy, emotion and environmental responsibility.
Space as a reflection of a changing world
While the 2025 Biennale explores the tension between nature and artificiality, we see this duality as a creative opportunity. Our teams experiment with alternative materials, demountable structures, and long-term usability. Our approach is not only inspired by nature — it aims to inspire brands that want to express their commitment while maintaining strong visual impact.
Reinventing, together
Reinventing space is not about applying a formula. It means challenging conventions, bringing together diverse expertise, and placing people at the centre. It means turning design into dialogue, tailoring into method, and ephemeral architecture into a lever for lasting transformation.
