The international call for applications opens on 9 January 2023 for the first-ever Biennale College Architettura. This new workshop will run from 25 June to 22 July 2023 in Venice, Italy.
The College is open to graduate students, graduates under the age of 30, to early career academics (such as PhD candidates, researchers, assistant professors, tutors, teaching fellows, etc.) and emerging practitioners under the age of 35.
In line with the general goals of all Biennale Colleges (cinema, dance, music, theatre, art), this first Biennale College Architettura will seek to complement and enrich the 18th International Architecture Exhibition, The Laboratory of the Future (20 May – 26 November, 2023) by exploring how to place the exhibition’s central themes, decolonisation and decarbonisation, at the heart of architectural education.
Biennale College Architettura encourages applicants from as wide a range of built environment disciplinary backgrounds as possible (such as landscape architecture, urban design, interior architecture, design engineering or similar built environment practices) to broaden our understanding of our discipline.
Up to 50 eligible participants will be selected following the open call deadline by the Director of the Architecture Department of La Biennale di Venezia, Lesley Lokko. They will work alongside a global cast of renowned practitioners, academics and built environment professionals on a range of design projects at different scales that map out new possibilities for architectural education in the coming decades.
