Shared Vision & Collaborative Force
Being selected to present at the Biennale Architettura 2025 was more than an honor—it was a call to create something extraordinary. In response, a diverse team of students, faculty, designers, and industry partners came together to shape a unified project, told through two interconnected exhibitions: unEarthed and Second Nature/PolliNATION. These titles reflect a layered narrative: unEarthed explores the invisible systems of collaboration and discovery, while Second Nature/PolliNATION gives that vision form, imagining a future shaped by sustainability and regeneration. United by a shared ethos of transdisciplinary innovation, the project showcases what can happen when learning, creativity, and purpose converge.
“This Exhibit organizes the teaching, learning, and creative processes into multiple axes, each representing a unique dimension of exploration and impact. These axes act as guiding forces, revealing how innovation and meaningful solutions emerge through a transparent, layered approach."
– Professor Jones | CEO & Creative Director at Joba Studio | Exhibition Designer
Indoor Exhibit at
Palazzo Bembo
Located in the historic Palazzo Bembo, the indoor exhibition unEarthed offers a look into the unseen: the processes, people, and pedagogy that shape meaningful innovation. Rooted in transdisciplinary collaboration, the exhibition pulls back the curtain on how ideas take shape across boundaries.
Outdoor Exhibit at
Giardini della Marinaressa
Outdoors at the Giardini della Marinaressa, Second Nature/PolliNATION brings the spirit of unEarthed into the physical world. Through architecture, ecology, and community-centered design, this student-built pavilion addresses the realities of climate change in Venice and reimagines the role of sustainability in public space.
