Qatar Pavilion's 'Beyti Beytak. My Home is Your Home. La mia casa è la tua casa' exhibition, at the 19th International Architecture Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia 2025, will examine how hospitality shapes the architecture and urban environments of the Middle East, North Africa, and South Asia (Menasa).According to Qatar Museums, the two-part exhibition which marks the nation’s debut at the event, also explores how modern and contemporary architecture responds to the needs of communities while reimagining a sense of belonging.Beyti Beytak produced by QM and organised by the future Art Mill Museum, features an installation in the Giardini della Biennale and a presentation at the ACP-Palazzo Franchetti. The presentation at the ACP-Palazzo Franchetti is organised with the support of ACP Art Capital Partners. Beyti Beytak will be on view from May 10 to November 23.In a press statement, Qatar Pavilion commissioner and QM chairperson HE Sheikha Al Mayassa bint Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani said: “This exhibition not only highlights the profound contributions of Menasa architects to global architecture but also reflects our shared values of hospitality, community, and belonging.“As we continue to shape a cultural landscape of dialogue and exchange, this exhibition serves as a testament to Qatar’s role in advancing cultural diplomacy and fostering a deeper understanding of our diverse architectural heritage”.In the Giardini, on the site of the future Qatar Pavilion, Pakistani architect Yasmeen Lari’s Community Centre (2024) showcases Lari’s humanitarian, social, cultural, and architectural development model.The temporary installation, a bamboo structure, uses techniques that were deployed by the architect as part of relief efforts prompted by the Heritage Foundation of Pakistan, an organisation she co-founded in 1980.The foundation continues to establish shelters and villages for those suffering from a devastating earthquake and repeated flooding in Pakistan.Events inside the Community Centre throughout the duration of the Biennale Architettura 2025 will focus on traditional Qatari forms of welcome, including the serving of coffee and dates.At ACP-Palazzo Franchetti, the exhibition will present the work of more than 30 architects, including several who have not previously shown in Venice. Examining three generations of architects that have worked in the Menasa region, the exhibition features drawings, photographs, models, and important archival documentation.A section is also devoted to the architecture and urbanism of Doha, which includes several doors from the old city that have been restored with the support of the Aga Khan Trust for Culture.
