This guide covers a workflow that moves from project parameters to generated floor plans, 3D perspective views, exterior design exploration, and site context visualization, using AI tools in place of preliminary CAD and rendering work.

The Slovenian Pavilion at the 19th International Architecture Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia presents Master Builders, a project curated by Ana Kosi and Ognen Arsov and organized by the Museum of Architecture and Design (MAO). The project addresses the evolution of construction technology, encompassing robotics, prefabrication, artificial intelligence, 3D printing, and other emerging tools, while drawing attention to a notable paradox within this technological shift, and also emphasizing that the quality of the built environment continues to rely heavily on the tacit knowledge of skilled craftsmen. By constructing a series of totems, the project examines the collaborative dynamics between architect and craftsman, revealing how this relationship shapes the material realization of architecture.

Denmark's contribution to the 19th International Architecture Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia examines how rethinking and reusing existing buildings and materials can address critical architectural challenges. The exhibition was commissioned by the Danish Architecture Center and curated by architect Søren Pihlmann. Aligning with the Biennale's overarching theme, "Intelligens. Natural. Artificial. Collective.," the Danish pavilion features the exhibition Build of Site, which explores sustainable architectural practices through the lens of reuse and resourcefulness. Build of Site proposes a mindset that prioritizes resource awareness and the potential of existing structures, principles communicated during the opening in a film produced in collaboration with Louisiana Channel.

How do pavilions emerge in architecture? What role do they play in urban spaces? Beyond the multiple interpretations that exist around the world, the pavilion, as an architectural principle and typology, tends toward extroversion, often associated with a centrifugal nature and visual openness toward the horizon, which is linked to its origins as a tent offering shelter from the elements. Pavilions are usually identified as isolated and independent structures that can promote lateral openings in the urban space, panoramic or introspective views, technological reflections, and material experiments that are recognizable from the outside or once inside.
