Sun Shines on Architecture
21.03-21.06.2025
The relationship between architecture and the sun has profoundly shaped the design and construction of buildings for millennia. Yet, the integration of solar energy into the built environment has remained rather marginal to this day.
Although the sun has always been there as a source of energy and beauty, it seems we have waited for the depletion of fossil resources to truly turn to it. The manifesto of the Solar Biennale declares: its time has finally come, but it is not enough to simply plug the sun into an outlet. A holistic approach to solar design must be embraced.
The current “solar movement” rethinks architecture and urban planning on a global scale, placing the sun at the center of our concerns. The exhibition explores how this energy source, whether used passively or actively, becomes a true architectural element, benefiting any renovation or new construction project.
