❝ ——「我們該如何透過建築去維護與推廣民主?」在討論過程中,策展人們精準地指出,建築並不是單純的物理空間,而是反映社會價值觀的重要媒介,更需要重新與「公共生活」緊密連結,貼近人們的情感與生活;民主並非一蹴可幾,需要持續維護與實踐的過程,因此透過建築規劃與公共空間設計,能夠真正提升人們的民主參與感。—— ❞

Thank you to Design Want x Living for the report on the forum 【 】 held at the preview space. The forum was hosted by Professor Chun-Hsiung WANG of the Department of Architecture, Shih Chien University, with discussions by Director Fabrizio Gallanti of Arc en Rêve Centre d'Architecture Bordeaux, Curator Wen-Wen CAI of Arc en Rêve Centre d'Architecture Bordeaux, Executive Secretary Meng-Ying, SHEN of Taiwan Museum Foundation, Curator James Taylor-Foster of Contemporary Architecture and Design, ArkDes. They collectively explored the relationship between and : How does architecture, as a carrier of human culture, reflect and interact with democracy, revealing the deep-seated values and identities of society?

❝ —— "How can we maintain and promote democracy through architecture?" During the discussion, the curators accurately pointed out that architecture is not merely a physical space, but an important medium that reflects social values. It needs to be reconnected closely with "public life," resonating with people's emotions and daily lives. Democracy is not achieved overnight; it requires ongoing maintenance and practice. Therefore, through architectural planning and the design of public spaces, we can truly enhance people's sense of democratic participation. —— ❞

❝ 策展團隊不僅選擇直面臺灣在地緣政治與生態上的不穩定,更進一步擁抱這份脆弱,將其化為激發建築創造力的催化劑。❞ ——在Ellen Boonstra的觀察中,「[無]信仰:漂蕩世界的臺灣智慧」展覽將建築化為語言,臺灣館由此探問認同、適應力,以及那份不隨主流卻堅定沈靜的力量。
文中專訪策展人薛丞倫老師,當談及展出地點普里奇歐尼宮的特殊環境與歷史沿革,如何影響展覽策畫的呈現?策展人將其定義為「介於囚禁與自由之間微妙的狀態」,這份情感上的「中介狀態」,深刻映照出臺灣在國際上的處境:臺灣被排除於主展區之外,僅能以「平行展」的身份參與雙年展。但這樣的邊緣位置,反而成為一種力量,激發出一種來自限制、卻富有靈活與彈性的建築實踐方式,擁抱不確定,也轉化為激進與批判的動力。

❝ The curatorial team chose not only to confront Taiwan’s geopolitical and ecological precarity but to embrace it as a catalyst for architectural creativity. ❞ — In Ellen Boonstra's observation, the exhibition "NON-Belief: Taiwan Intelligens of Precarity" transforms architecture into language, the Taiwan Pavilion explores themes of identity, adaptability, and that quiet strength that remains steadfast despite not conforming to the mainstream.
In the interview with curator Cheng-Luen Hsueh, when discussing how the unique environment and historical background of the exhibition venue, the Palazzo delle Prigioni, influence the presentation of the exhibition, the curator defines it as "a liminal space between confinement and freedom." This emotional "intermediary state" profoundly reflects Taiwan's situation in the international arena: Taiwan is excluded from the main exhibition area and can only participate in the biennale as a "collateral event." However, this marginal position has instead become a source of strength, inspiring a form of architectural practice that is born from limitations yet is rich in flexibility and adaptability. It embraces uncertainty and transforms into a driving force for radicalism and critique.

┛ Biennale 2025 pavilions:
we’ve seen them—here’s what we recommend ┏
Praise from the international architecture magazine "domus"! It commends "NON-Belief: Taiwan Intelligens of Precarity" for its fusion of poetic and contemporary language, exploring the unstable conditions of the environment and geopolitics, making it one of the most compelling exhibitions——
❝ In the Palazzo delle Prigioni, Taiwan builds its exhibition around the concept of belief, directly confronting the island’s rapid technological growth alongside its geopolitical fragility. A wall of votive statuettes of Mazu—the sea goddess and symbolic deity of Taiwan, an island notoriously difficult to reach from mainland China—transforms into a smart panel, connecting past and future, tradition and technology. It becomes a refined metaphor for Taiwan’s complex relationship with Beijing. ❞

感謝 典藏 ARTouch.com 的專訪報導,「[無]信仰:漂蕩世界的臺灣智慧」的17組參展團隊,由來自全臺多所大學的師生與建築師共同組成,期盼建立 #知識實驗平台,以提案作品〈媽祖科技廟〉為例,即由建築師設計當代 #媽祖廟,結合成大建築系的研究,而學生從設計、模型製作到展場搭建的密切參與,使 #策展 成為銜接業界與學術的橋樑。
❝ 策展團隊以威尼斯為契機,反思建築教育的實踐方式,嘗試建立一種策展即教學的實驗實作場域。他希望策展不只是展示成果,更能促進學術與業界的對話,並讓學生成為知識生產的「參與者」,而不只是「協助者」。每組作品的合作多以「建築師+學者」的模式組成,結合真實設計案與材料研究,並帶入學生參與,形成結合教學、實作與展覽的實驗性協作。強調「策展即實作、研究即教學」的工作模式。 ❞

Thank you to ARTouch.com for the special interview report. The 17 exhibition teams in "NON-Belief: Taiwan Intelligens of Precarity" are composed of teachers and students from various universities across Taiwan, as well as architects. They hope to establish a . Taking the proposal work "Mazu Techple" as an example, it features a contemporary designed by architects, integrating research from National Cheng Kung University. The close involvement of students in design, model making, and exhibition setup allows to serve as a bridge connecting industry and academia.
❝ The curation team uses Venice as an opportunity to reflect on the practice of architectural education, attempting to establish a field where curation is also teaching. They hope that curation is not just about showcasing results, but also about promoting dialogue between academia and industry, allowing students to become "participants" in knowledge production rather than just "assistants." Each group's collaboration typically follows a "architect + scholar" model, combining real design projects with material research and involving students, thus forming an experimental collaboration that integrates teaching, practice, and exhibition. This emphasizes a working model of "curation as practice, research as teaching." ❞

“To face a burning world, architecture must harness all the intelligence around us.” The Curator of the 19th International Architecture Exhibition, Carlo Ratti has declared.
The title of this year’s Biennale is “Intelligens. Natural. Artificial. Collective.” Curator Carlo Ratti uses the term “Intelligens,” highlighting the last syllable, “gens,” which means “people” in Latin, to discuss three types of intelligence—natural, artificial, and collective—and their role in architectural design amidst contemporary environmental and climate challenges.
To response the title, Collateral Event of the 19th International Architecture Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia, Taiwan’s official collateral exhibition, “NON-Belief: Taiwan Intelligens of Precarity“ will use the dialectical relationship between belief and NON-Belief in Taiwan's landscape and spatial governance to demonstrate how intelligence operates amidst multiple contradictions, exploring new architectural and environmental governance strategies and identifying various manifestations of intelligence and their impact on spatial governance.

People who yearn to live closer to nature, find themselves oscillating between urban and rural areas. This kind of spontaneous and ever-changing nomadic lifestyle is characteristic of travellers, spiritual practitioners, and those who pursue their sanctuary in nature.
Situated in East Asia, Taiwan is located at the convergent point of the Eurasian Plate and the Philippine Sea Plate. As one of the homelands of the Austronesian people, Taiwan is surrounded by sea and approximately 70% of the landscape is covered in verdant Alpine forests and rolling hills. As the 38th largest island in the world, Taiwan has an overall marine tropical climate, where the northern and central regions of Taiwan are subtropical, the southern region is tropical, and the mountainous regions are temperate. Taiwan is also home to over 4,077 species of native vascular plants, 800 species of vertebrates, and 20,000 recorded species of insects.
There is a fine line between the balance of development and conservation of nature that is worthy of exploring.
Taiwan-based interdisciplinary design team Divooe Zein Architects studio is committed to researching and planning projects in nature and rural fields for years. In 2014, the studio established “siu siu – Lab of Primitive Senses”, an experimental base with a core value of generating a “nature-based learning field”. The success of interdisciplinary collaboration between botanists, traditional medicine practitioners, aboriginal artists, climatologists, spiritualists, yoga instructors, and many others, is shared with the public through this experimental base. In 2017, the team collaborated with CMP Village on the project “The Forest BIG” which integrated multiple industries with the concept of “learning from nature”, further demonstrating the values and the influence of this concept. Through observing the everchanging landscape and environment of each unique architecture work and carrying out in-depth fieldworks, the team discovered that, the “tranquillity of mind” is an essential framework that co-exists with nature, ultimately ensuring that we can continue to develop yet not overly exploit nature.
The Taiwan Exhibition presents not only independent experimental works such as siu siu - Lab of Primitive Senses in Taipei and Nature Monastery in Bali, but also other planning and conceptual design projects that partnered with enterprises such as “The Forest BIG” and CMP Village, “Semi-Ecosphere Glass House” and Spring Pool Glass and JUT foundation, as well as “Lab of Primitive Perception” and developers in China. These selected projects reflect different cultural backgrounds, geographical landscape, commercial industries, space usage and other thematics. Despite having their own unique perspectives, each project plays a significant role in bridging the gap between various local contexts and demonstrating the burgeoning values of cross-disciplinary collaborations. Divooe Zein Architects studio explores and excavates the gradually forgotten elements — nature, species of flora and fauna, and culture during the “Primitive Migration” in our homeland. By creating living spaces and examining an architecture’s construction process, the studio seeks to learn from it surroundings and further collaborate with those whose daily lives are deeply imbued with ancient wisdom. People from communities of various micro-scale start to progressively merge with each other, which then paints a picture of a wholesome life.
來自台灣的自然洋行設計團隊多年來致力於自然野地郊區研究及環境規劃,並於2014年成立「少少-原始感覺研究室」共同埸域合作計劃,以「自然中的學習場域」為題,透過各領域如植物學家、傳統醫療師、原住民藝術家、生活家、氣候變遷科學家、調香師、靈修者、瑜珈老師⋯⋯等各方面原生力量策劃及探討,並將成果分享大眾,及作為未來可能的山野實驗基地建築設計參數。2017年與勤美學合作,位在中台灣的實驗計畫「森大 The Forest BIG」更將「向大自然學習」的思想與產業結合,展現更多的影響力。自然洋行從各個獨特案件的風土、田調觀察中發現,「安定的人心」是與自然環境共存、持續發展而不過度開發的重要先決條件。
