In this opening keynote, Professor Carlo Ratti shows how curiosity fuels a multifaceted design journey. He reveals how natural, artificial, and collective intelligence can transform urban infrastructure into adaptive, responsive systems that better serve citizens. Ratti also shares insights on interdisciplinary collaboration, curating the Biennale Architettura 2025 vision, and designing the Milano Cortina 2026 torches—illuminating design’s evolving frontier, all driven by curiosity.

Curiosity Questions to address: 

●  How do you teach curiosity?

●  How is the role of the architect evolving?

●  What are the key takeaways from the Biennale on collaborative intelligence—between humans, machines, and communities?

●  How are cities being transformed into living systems capable of sensing, responding, and adapting?
