Release time：2024-10-17
The Buenos Aires International Architecture Biennale serves as a platform for contemporary creation and reflection, grounded in proposals and dialogues across architecture, urban planning, ecology, art, and design. As one of the pioneers of biennales in Latin America, it stands alongside the São Paulo Biennale as the most representative architecture and art biennale in South America.
Founded in 1985 by Jorge Glusberg, Director of the Center of Art and Communication (CAYC), the Buenos Aires International Architecture Biennale has, for nearly four decades, attracted architects and intellectuals from around the world to showcase and discuss the most representative architectural and design works. The week-long biennale, through conferences and exhibitions spread across the city, museums, and public spaces, has become a gathering place for internationally renowned architects who demonstrate outstanding productivity in their works of various scales.
The 19th Buenos Aires International Architecture Biennale opens on October 9, 2024. This edition of the biennale will revolve around themes such as sustainability, the environment, and the application of new technologies in architecture and design, exploring the challenges and opportunities faced by cities and their human dimensions.
The central exhibition of the biennale will showcase highlights of international contemporary architecture through innovative exhibition design, featuring diverse proposals from 48 invited studios and 72 projects selected through an open call. It includes conferences in different settings, city tours, and dialogues between architecture, art, and design. The thematic exhibition brings together six projects by the following architect teams:
Winka Dubbeldam (New York),
Philip Feng Yuan (Philip F. Yuan ) (Shanghai),
Francisco Gonzalez-Pulido (Chicago),
Dimitri Shapakidze and Irakli Abashidze (Tbilisi),
Sameep Padora (Mumbai),
Sergei Tchoban (Berlin)
The selected works of these teams explore new meanings, expressions, and experiences of architecture in social, material, and emotional contexts. The exhibition is curated by Vladimir Belogolovsky. As a participating architect, Philip Feng Yuan (Philip F. Yuan ) from CAUP conducted a special lecture at the event, taking the design interpretation of his exhibited project as an opportunity to systematically introduce his closed-loop thinking and practice throughout the design process, from exploring local cultural contexts and site texture relationships to form-finding, structural performance form-finding and optimization, and finally to digital design and robotic intelligent construction, vividly illustrating the design concept of non-local locality.
