VCE:
Biennale Architettura - Where Venice Becomes a Futuristic Playground

The peeling stucco of a 16th-century palazzo suddenly sprouts carbon-fiber mushrooms. A gondola garage floats on recycled plastic islands. Welcome to the 2024 Architecture Biennale, where starchitects and rebels alike transform La Serenissima into a laboratory for tomorrow's world.

This Year's Must-Sees

  • The Algae Pavilion - A living structure that eats microplastics from canal water (by MIT & Renzo Piano)
  • Airbnb Dolomiti - A controversial floating refugee housing prototype moored near Giardini
  • The Instagram Trap - An installation that only reveals its true form when viewed through 5G phones (sponsored by TIM)

Biennale Hacks

  • Secret Pass - The €30 "Architect's Afterhours" ticket (via prestigefly.com/biennale) grants access to 3 AM curator parties in the Arsenale
  • Gelato Architecture - Gelateria Nico creates limited-edition flavors matching each pavilion (try the deconstructivist stracciatella)
  • Escape Route - When sensory overload hits, the Prosecco fountain at the Swiss Pavilion never runs dry
