"Architecture and urbanism have the opportunity to offer solutions that involve looking beyond the discipline itself, so that the margins and boundaries of necessity lead us to seek actions outside of standard practice. Positioning ourselves on the margins allows us to see new alternatives, expand the practice, and have a perspective that is not central, but peripheral," say Anna Vergés and Guillem Augé (UNDO), curators of the XII Ibero-American Biennial of Architecture and Urbanism, whose central theme is "Habitar al margen" (Living on the Margins).
In 2022, the theme "Habitar al Margen" proposed a biennial that brings visibility to the work of those who are providing solutions to growing social, environmental, and economic needs outside the system. To this end, they aim to foster a space for reflection on the use of individual and collective space, bridging the home and the street, to open an optimistic and timely debate on the urban challenges facing the Ibero-American region.
