Claudia Pasquero and Marco Poletto, founders of ecoLogicStudio and their research partners, The Synthetic Landscape Lab at Innsbruck University and the Urban Morphogenesis Lab at the Bartlett UCL, have been invited to participate in How Will We Live Together? the 17th International Architecture Exhibition — La Biennale di Venezia curated by Hashim Sarkis, which will be held in Venice from May 22 to November 11, 2021.

Within the “As New Households” section of the Corderie dell’Arsenale, the studio will present BIT.BIO.BOT — a 1:1 scale installation, an immersive experiment in the domestic cultivation of the urban microbiome. The experimental space is designed to test the co-existence between human and non-human organisms in the post-pandemic Urbansphere.
