Titled Intelligens. Natural. Artificial. Collective, the exhibition is curated by architect and engineer Carlo Ratti, an architect and engineer. Carlo Ratti is currently holding teaching positions at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and at the Politecnico di Milano. Ratti is the director of the Senseable City Lab at the MIT and a founding partner of the architecture and innovation office CRA-Carlo Ratti Associatibased in Torino, New York City, and London. For this year's theme, Ratti discusses the necessity of a fundamental shift in practice due to adaptation. As he explained, this exhibition encourages various types of intelligence to collaborate in reevaluating the built environment. The Latin title "Intelligens" notably includes the word "gens," which translates to "people," signaling an invitation for engagement and participation among individuals in this rethinking process.

During the age of adaptation, La Biennale di Venezia needs to work together with other organizations. Intelligens has established links with various global entities, including the Soft Power Club, the Davos Baukultur Alliance, C40, the UN's COP30, and numerous others. GENS, its public program, will feature a multitude of events and discussions, involving audiences of varying sizes.

The exhibition will host over 750 participants (individuals or organizations), over 280 projects, over 500 participants in interdisciplinary teams, over 350 participants in multigenerational teams, over 250 participants in women-led teams, and over 375 participants in transnational teams.
