The Pisa Architecture Biennale reaches its sixth edition and chooses Nature as its theme, a topic that is essential for architecture and cities today. From Friday 10 October to Sunday 16 November 2025, Pisa will become a widespread laboratory, hosting exhibitions, conferences, lectio magistralis and events dedicated to the relationship between architecture, landscape and community.
The event is promoted and organized by the LP – Laboratoprio Permanente per la città, represented by architects Massimo Del Seppia, Chiara Barsotti, Pietro Berti and Andrea Iacomoni, who also take care of the artistic direction and curatorial system of the Biennale.
The Biennale enjoys the patronage and support of the Municipality of Pisa, as well as the collaboration of the main local institutions.
The Representative Medal of the Presidency of the Republic, granted by the Head of State for the high cultural value of the event, was also awarded for the sixth edition.
