Porsche collaborates with the Norman Foster Foundation
London, February 11, 2025, (Oilandgaspress) ––– The eighth edition of the design and art initiative “The Art of Dreams” is envisioned by the Norman Foster Foundation. Together with the foundation team of the British star architect, the sports car manufacturer has designed an Architectural installation that will be shown during the Biennale Archittetura 2025 (10 May to 23 November 2025) in Venice. The project is entitled “Gateway to Venice’s Waterways”.
Venice is known for its timeless beauty and rich heritage. At the same time, the lagoon city is becoming a symbol of progress and innovation that cities around the world can learn from. The installation “Gateway to Venice’s Waterways” is intended to initiate this discourse on sustainable urban change.

“Intelligens. Natural. Artificial. Collective.” is the theme of this year’s Architecture Biennale. The installation responds to this by physically representing how dreams and reality combine, inspired by nature and technology. The installation shows how design can reconcile the complex demands of modern urban infrastructure with a commitment to sustainability. “Gateway to Venice’s Waterways” can be visited throughout the Biennale Archittetura 2025.
„Design and architecture share the same attributes: In contrast to art, both disciplines stand for an interplay of aesthetics and technology as well as functionality and realisability. The complexity of both topics creates a clear distinction from pure styling as well as a great fascination for the other discipline,” says Michael Mauer, Vice President Style Porsche. “The exchange with creative colleagues beyond the boundaries of classic automotive design is always enriching for us. Creativity thrives on communication and freely conceived ideas – the collaboration with the Norman Foster Foundation team provides us with exciting food for thought.”
“The collaboration between the Norman Foster Foundation and Porsche emphasises the importance of a holistic approach that brings together experts from different fields to shape the future of mobility. By integrating technology, insights from nature and lessons from the past, we can reimagine cities that are not only more sustainable, but also more connected and efficient. ‘Gateway to Venice’s Waterways is a testament to this vision and shows how innovation and tradition can co-exist to inspire new solutions for the urban landscapes of tomorrow,” says Norman Foster.
