The XVI Spanish Biennial of Architecture and Urbanism (BEAU) has presented the 50 finalist proposals from its ‘Works’ call. Organized by the MITMA through the Directorate-General for Urban Agenda and Architecture, in collaboration with CSCAE and Fundación Arquia, the upcoming event seeks to reflect on how architecture can transform the future under the theme ‘Me–dio Pla–zo’ (Medium Term).
Led by a jury chaired by Iñaqui Carnicero and composed of Marta Vall-llossera Ferran, Montserrat Nogués, and curators María González García, Juan José López de la Cruz, and Ángel Martínez García-Posada, the selection process for this category also included professionals such as Carola Antón, Olga Felip, Andreia Garcia, Cristián Izquierdo, Emilio Tuñón, and Ángela Juarranz. This team reviewed over 500 submitted projects, narrowing them down to 126 shortlisted entries before selecting these 50 finalists. Ultimately, 20 award-winning proposals will be announced in September during the opening ceremony of the XVI BEAU.
Additionally, for the ‘Research and Dissemination' category, Berta Bardí, Eduardo Prieto, Ricardo S. Lampreave, and Marina Otero joined the jury to select 50 submissions, from which they chose 25 finalists. Meanwhile, for the 'Final Degree Projects' category, experts Fernanda Canales, Ramón Pico, and Patricia Sabín joined the jury to evaluate 54 submissions, ultimately selecting 25 winners to be announced on June 6 on the Biennial's website.
