In this interview from the 2025 Venice Architecture Biennale, curators Roi Salgueiro and Manuel Bouzas discuss Internalities, the Spanish Pavilion’s compelling response to this year’s prompt on “intelligence.” Rather than proposing a definitive solution, they frame Internalities as an attitude—an architectural lens that repositions the interior as a site of planetary interconnection. The exhibition explores how built environments are always entangled with distant territories through material sourcing, energy flows, and waste displacement. By linking architectural interiors to their territorial consequences, the pavilion advocates for a renewed ethic of spatial accountability. Featuring collaborative installations from across Spain and the Balearic Islands, Internalities emerges as a blueprint for territorial equilibrium grounded in local resources and shared intelligence.
