L'albero è radicato nel cielo

CURATORIAL TEXT

The Russian Pavilion at the Architecture Biennale 2026 takes the image of a tree as its foundation — a living structure connecting earth and sky, roots and crown, past and future.

In an era of constant transformation, the project reflects on the idea of rootedness — not as something fixed, but as a dynamic force that nourishes growth, memory, and new possibilities.

Through the works of contemporary artists and architects, the pavilion becomes a space for thinking with nature, not against it.

«The tree rises into the sky not to escape the earth, but to reveal it more fully.»
