US Pavilion at Venice Biennale showcases American porches, faces changes requiring promotion of American values.

The US Pavilion at the 2025 Venice Biennale features a sustainable structure and 52 projects highlighting American porches, themed "PORCH: An Architecture of Generosity." The pavilion aligns with the Biennale's theme, "Intelligens: Natural. Artificial. Collective," curated by Carlo Ratti. However, recent changes by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs now require future pavilions to promote American values, potentially narrowing the selection of artists and projects.
