A total of 9 works and 20 projects have won the 12th Ibero-American Biennial of Architecture and Urbanism (BIAU), which will be held from 21 to 25 September as part of the MEXTRÓPOLI Architecture and City Festival, with CDMX as the starting point.

Under the motto of Inhabiting on the Margin, the 12th BIAU rewards the most outstanding in Ibero-American architecture and urbanism and reflects on the search for alternative habitats for a more optimistic, sustainable, and just urban future.
 
An exhibition with a triple venue - Colegio San Ildefonso, Centro Cultural de España, and Lago/Algo - and a wide-ranging program will provide an in-depth look at the participating projects. The event is organized by the Spanish Government through the Ministry of Transport, Mobility and Urban Agenda (MITMA) through the Directorate General of Urban Agenda and Architecture.
The winning projects were selected from over 800 proposals received, from which 84 finalists were selected.

The curatorship was formed by a team of architects formed by undo arquitectura (Anna Vergés and Guillem Augé, based in Barcelona, Spain) and Torolab (Raúl Cárdenas and Ana Martínez, based in Tijuana, Mexico).

In this sense, one of the important novelties of this biennial is the unprecedented Actions at the Margin prize, which recognizes initiatives that, with fewer resources, generate an impact on the community and are likely to be replicable.

In addition to these awards, the XII BIAU Ibero-American Lifetime Achievement Award will be given to the Argentinean architect and activist Ana Falú. With a career dedicated to the right to the city and to housing, Falú is a forerunner in the defense of women's rights and their relationship with architecture and urban planning.
