MIT architecture and antikythera’s exhibition at palazzo diedo<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

As part of the 2025 Venice Architecture Biennale\u2019s<\/strong><\/a> official collateral events, The Next Earth: Computation, Crisis, Cosmology takes over Palazzo Diedo with a double-decker exhibition examining the intersection of architecture, ecology, and planetary systems (find designboom’s previous coverage here<\/strong><\/a>). Organized in the Berggruen Arts & Culture space, the exhibition<\/strong><\/a> runs until November 23, 2025. At its core is Climate Work: Un\/Worlding the Planet, a major showcase of MIT Architecture’s ongoing faculty research, framed as the discipline’s response to ecological breakdown through the lens of design, computation, and material inquiry. Sharing the venue is a parallel contribution by Antikythera, adding a complementary cosmological perspective to the planetary themes explored throughout.<\/p>\n

beyond climate crisis: MIT\u2019s planetary prototypes<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Together, Antikythera think tank<\/strong><\/a> and MIT\u2019s contributions press architecture into a new register that’s capable of engaging with the cosmos, computation, and crisis on equal terms. The Next Earth asks how thought, form, and code might converge to invent them.\u00a0<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Located on the lower floor of the newly restored<\/strong><\/a> Palazzo Diedo, Climate Work gathers 37 speculative projects from MIT Architecture faculty<\/strong><\/a>, challenging the discipline\u2019s role in a world shaped by climate crisis. These works-in-progress imagine alternate presents and futures, with prototypes spanning embodied energy, decarbonized construction, regenerative material systems, and the use of machine learning in design. From deep-time geological thinking to speculative infrastructures, the projects unearth architecture\u2019s complicity\u2014buildings and construction are responsible for nearly 40% of global emissions\u2014while proposing new modes of planetary engagement.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Far from treating climate as a fixed problem, Climate Work reframes it as a generative context. The exhibit invites visitors to see architecture as a world-building tool capable of reconfiguring how humans live, build, and think on Earth.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On the upper floor, the Antikythera’s The Noocene: Computation and Cosmology from Antikythera to AI takes visitors on a speculative voyage from the world\u2019s first known computer to today\u2019s global AI systems. Curated as both philosophical inquiry and architectural installation, the show centers around a monumental video monolith broadcasting ideas and short films that explore planetary computation as a vast, accidental infrastructure, a ‘megastructure’ rendering Earth\u2019s molecular and atmospheric systems legible and increasingly programmable. Rare historical artifacts\u2014tracing the legacy of philosophy, astronomy, and the evolution of intelligence\u2014anchor the exhibition\u2019s deeper currents, while Antikythera\u2019s forthcoming book, Accept All Cookies, distills its research into a philosophical toolkit for navigating the age of planetary computation.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
