HOME

The Creative Directors of the Australia Pavilion will present the vision of HOME for the 2025 Venice Architecture Biennale here in London, at the Architectural Association.

Led by Dr Michael Mossman, Emily McDaniel, and Jack Gillmer-Lilley, alongside a Creative Sphere of First Nations architects and practitioners, this year’s Australian pavilion explores the question of “what does home mean to you?” through interactions with memory, sensation, relationships, and future.

Blending the overall Biennale theme of Intelligens, Natural, Artificial, Collective, the Creative Sphere prioritises Australian Indigenous concepts of dialogue, yarning and preservation as mediators of cultures and community practices.

Through the lens of Country, this is the first time at the Venice Architecture Biennale that the Australia Pavilion is an all First Nations design team, demonstrating the cultural and philosophical perspectives that have enabled the world's oldest living cultures to survive and thrive. The exhibition will transform the Australia Pavilion into a Home—a place for cultural exchange, where visitors engage with the narratives of Country and their own concepts of Home.

This is a presentation that invites you to connect with the visceral qualities of Home.
