The slogan for next year's Venice Architecture Biennale is "Intelligens. Natural. Artificial. Collective." The word Intelligens alludes to intelligence and draws from Latin, in which gens means people. In this way, the curator explains, a new fictional core emerges, suggesting a future of intelligence that is inclusive, multifaceted and imaginative, beyond today's limiting focus on artificial intelligence.
