The Ministry of Public Works, through the Directorate General for Architecture, Housing, and Land, in collaboration with the Higher Council of Architects' Associations of Spain (CSCAE) and the Arquia Foundation, has announced the 14th Spanish Biennial of Architecture and Urbanism (XIV BEAU) for the 2016–2017 period. This edition is supported by the Santander City Council, the Botín Foundation, and the Official Association of Architects of Cantabria.
Under the theme More Inhabiting, More Humanizing, this 14th edition of the Spanish Biennial of Architecture and Urbanism aims to emphasize the concept of "inhabiting" as the foundation of architecture and the humanization of the city. This concept is defined not only by various functional programs but also by the quality and character of the spaces themselves.
