Slovenski bienale oblikovanja BIO, eden najstarejših na svetu, se uvršča med najpomembnejše mednarodne oblikovalske dogodke v Evropi. Prvič je bil organiziran leta 1963, od leta 1972 pa ga gosti Muzej za arhitekturo in oblikovanje (MAO) v Ljubljani. Bienale oblikovanja je kulturni dogodek, ki išče inovativna stičišča, zrela za razvoj, med arhitekturo ter industrijskim in akademskim sektorjem.

Izbrana tema BIO je mednarodna platforma za nove pristope k oblikovanju, ki obravnavajo aktualna pereča vprašanja v lokalnih in globalnih okoljih. BIO je laboratorij, ki preizprašuje in testira. Oblikovanje obravnava kot orodje za preučevanje in ponovno obravnavanje vsakdanjega življenja skozi multidisciplinarno in humanistično lečo, ki sega skozi sisteme, storitve, študije in proizvodne aparate, ki vodijo naša življenja, ter nepričakovane pogoje, povezane z uveljavljanjem kakršnih koli rešitev v naših življenjskih okoljih. Med gosti prejšnjih let so bila znana imena, kot so Jan Boelen, Angela Rui, Thomas Geisler, Alice Rawsthorn, Formafantasma, Mischer'Traxler, Studio Folder, Point Supreme, Didier Faustino, Odo Fioravanti ter številni drugi mednarodni in lokalni ustvarjalci.

Pretvorba v trajnostnega kulturnega producenta

Jasno je, da ima prirejanje mednarodnih kulturnih dogodkov določen okoljski vpliv, zato je trajnostnost postala vodilno načelo BIO. BIO28 tako aktivno zmanjšuje okoljski vpliv svojega delovanja, hkrati pa želi prikazati in sporočati inovativne pristope k trajnostni kulturni produkciji. BIO organizira Muzej za arhitekturo in oblikovanje (MAO) v sodelovanju s Centrom za kreativnost. Projekt "Center za kreativnost" sofinancirata Republika Slovenija in Evropska unija s sredstvi Evropskega sklada za regionalni razvoj v okviru evropske kohezijske politike.
