From December 2 to 6, the XIII Ibero-American Biennial of Architecture and Urbanism (BIAU) will be held in Lima, Peru, under the theme CLIMATE: Actions for Good Living. Since 1998, the BIAU, promoted by the government of Spain through the Ministry of Housing and Urban Agenda (MIVAU), in collaboration with the Higher Council of the Colleges of Architects of Spain and with the support of the ARQUIA Foundation, aims to disseminate good practices in architecture and urbanism in Ibero-America, fostering a space for discussion around contemporary challenges shared between Spain and Latin America. Weaving bridges of knowledge between both continents, the BIAU opens its doors once again, now in Lima.
The city of Lima, located in a desert with extreme climatic conditions, presents itself as an ideal setting for the central discussion of this edition of the BIAU: the environmental, political, and socioeconomic climate in relation to the built environment. Under the approach of architecture for good living, solutions will be presented to address the current climate crisis.
