The exhibition “4° C entre toi et moi” (4° C between you and me), which Sana Frini and Philippe Rahm curated for the 3rd Île-de-France Architecture and Landscape Biennial / Biennale d’architecture et de paysage d’Île-de-France closed its doors yesterday, July 13, 2025.
We would like to thank all visitors, our colleagues, the general public, and all participants in the biennial: architects, writers, architecture critics, filmmakers, and architecture students.
The challenge of our exhibition is to enter this second phase, that of resilience in the face of global warming. We must continue to reduce anthropogenic CO2 emissions, 39% of which are generated by the building sector. But we must now also adapt our cities, our buildings, and certainly our culture and way of life to this global temperature rise, which will reach +4°C by 2100 and affect all regions of the world. By inviting contemporary architects working already in warmer latitudes to Versailles, by studying the ancient vernacular solutions of hot latitudes, which, through convection, conduction, evaporation, and radiation, teach us how to build and adapt buildings to withstand rising heat, torrential rains, droughts, and floods, the ambition of our biennial is to understand and disseminate architectural know-how that will enable us to continue living in our cities in a future that is +4°C warmer by 2100.
More fundamentally, working on climate, energy and material infrastructure is also necessary to ensure peace, justice and equality in our political and social superstructures.
