CRA-Carlo Ratti Associati

This Thursday Carlo unveiled “Intelligens. Natural. Artificial. Collective.”, the 19th International Architecture Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia (2025) he is curating. «Architecture has always been a response to a hostile climate. From the earliest "primitive hut," human design has been led by the need for shelter and survival, driven by optimism: our creations have always strived to bridge the gap between a harsh environment and the safe, livable spaces we require.» says Carlo Ratti in his curatorial statement: «When the systems that have long guided our understanding begin to fail, new forms of thinking are needed. For decades, architecture’s response to the climate crisis has been centered on mitigation—designing to reduce our impact on the climate. But that approach is no longer enough. The time has come for architecture to embrace adaptation: rethinking how we design for an altered world.» Architecture has to move from ‘mitigation’ to ‘adaptation’: «In the time of adaptation, architecture is at the center and must lead with optimism. In the time of adaptation, architecture needs to draw on all forms of intelligence – natural, artificial, collective. In the time of adaptation, architecture needs to reach out across generations and across disciplines - from the hard sciences to the arts. In the time of adaptation, architecture must rethink authorship and become more inclusive, learning from science.» You can read the whole curatorial statement here: https://lnkd.in/dxtFeYzc Keep up with our work!

𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗥𝗔 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺! /𝟭𝟬 Meet Sandra, Talent Acquisition Manager at CRA-Carlo Ratti Associati Group. A linguistics graduate with a passion for sociology and design, Sandra is dedicated to fostering inclusive and dynamic workplaces at CRA. Committed to eliminating biases, she strives to create environments where people thrive, reflecting CRA’s belief that architecture shapes not only spaces but relationships as well. While her role isn’t directly design-focused, Sandra has been deeply inspired by CRA projects like The Office as a Playground. This project aligns with her conviction that well-being at work stems from stimulating, interactive, and inclusive environments. “To bring people back from the comfort of pajama Zoom calls, offices must feel like playgrounds,” she says, emphasizing the importance of spaces that encourage connection and creativity. Sandra applies this philosophy to hiring, utilizing behavioral interviews to build teams that share CRA’s values, enthusiasm, and drive to innovate. Just as CRA reimagines workspaces to inspire collaboration and growth, Sandra is dedicated to creating a workplace culture where people don’t just work, but connect, grow, and find inspiration every day.
