Entry Description

unEarthed / Second Nature / PolliNATION, a collateral event at Biennale Architettura di Venezia 2025, explores how architecture and nature can coexist. Led by Virginia Tech with USM, Cloud 9, and Joba Studio, it unites 142 students and 12 faculty in a living experiment blending design, ecology, and education. Spanning Giardini and Palazzo Bembo, the evolving installations fuse biodiversity, sustainability, and cross-disciplinary collaboration into an immersive brand and visitor experience.
