VAMO - Vegetal, Animal, Mineral, OtherTargetti illuminates VAMO, architectural installation at the Corderie dell' Arsenale for the Biennale Architettura 2025.
VAMO, a collaborative architectural installation developed by ETH Zurich, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and other collaborators, will premiere at the 19th International Architecture Exhibition Intelligens. Natural. Artificial. Collective., curated by Carlo Ratti and organized by La Biennale di Venezia. The exhibition opens to the public from May 10 to November 23, 2025. Presented in the Corderie of the Arsenale, VAMO contributes to the Biennale’s call for architecture to shift from mitigation to adaptation. As Ratti notes, “the time has come for architecture to embrace adaptation: rethinking how we design for an altered world.”
VAMO is a lightweight, regenerative installation that explores alternatives to architectural permanence with a modular and biodegradable structure, made of different materials.
The canopy is clad in several panels made from reclaimed materials such as coffee grounds, coconut husks, wool discarded from industrial processes, pineapple peels, Murano’s non-recyclable glass waste.
Targetti takes part to the project proposing cutting-edge lighting solutions to illuminate this very special installation.
VADER projectors were selected thanks to the Tunable White sources and the ZOOM optics they are equipped with, that allow to emphasize the large structure with different color temperatures and diversified beam openings.
