Winners of the 13th Ibero-American Biennial of Architecture and Urbanism

The XIII BIAU has announced the 47 winning proposals, chosen from among 145 finalists, in a call for proposals in which 879 proposals were received. These awards are joined by the recognition of the Career of the architects and urban planners Ciro Pirondi (Brazil, 1956), Jorge Mario Jáuregui (Argentina, 1948) and Raquel Rolnik (Brazil, 1956).

Under the motto "CLIMAS: Actions for good living", it awards the most outstanding Ibero-American architecture and urban planning through six categories: Works, Career, Publications, Pedagogies, New Rules and Other Coordinates. The XIII BIAU will be held from December 2 to 6 in Lima, Peru.

Focusing on improving habitat quality, housing takes centre stage at this edition of BIAU, inviting action to create more sustainable, equitable and diverse futures, as well as exchanging ideas on extreme climate conditions and their impact on the built environment.

Under the title of “CLIMATES: Actions for good living”, the XIII BIAU is held in Lima, a city located in a desert with extreme climatic conditions, standing out as an exceptional place to reflect on environmental, economic and political climates and their relationship with the built environment.

This edition focuses on how to face contemporary challenges in urban and rural environments, such as the housing crisis, social inequality and the pressure of urbanization, which ignores the cultural particularities of each territory. Innovation is promoted in the use of local materials and techniques in pursuit of environmental sustainability.

In the Works category, projects such as Las Tejedoras (Ecuador) or the Parque Urbano Isla Cautón (Chile) take a critical look at current climatic problems such as deforestation or the lack of water or its destructive action, offering alternatives that enhance local vernacular and artisanal techniques. Alongside them, examples such as the Petén project (Mexico) or Raw Rooms (Spain) focus on housing and local roots as sustainable solutions.

In other categories such as New Rules, projects that promote strategies and forms of social organisation and relationship with the habitat and the city are highlighted. This is the case of La Revuelta escolar (Spain), which calls for the improvement of the environment and infrastructure in educational centres in the face of pollution or noise, or Femingas (Ecuador), which relates architecture to the gender perspective.

From this starting point, the BIAU award winners have been selected through three "climates" or thematic approaches: environmental, political and socioeconomic.
