The winners of the XXII Bienal del Colegio de Arquitectos de Nuevo León in Monterrey have been announced. Under the theme "Coherence," this edition's discourse proposes establishing dialogues and expressions to recognize the correct expressive and material act of architecture in practice. The biennial seeks to acknowledge how both architectural objects and urban projects operate under the following categories: social coherence, ethical coherence, strategic coherence, participatory coherence, productive coherence, and material coherence.
This edition featured 113 works in the Professional Biennial and 99 projects in the VIII Student Biennial, across categories including housing, commercial architecture, industrial architecture, architecture for education and culture, healthcare and wellness architecture, preservation of heritage and the built environment, ephemeral architecture, interior architecture, urban architecture, and research and dissemination. The jury awarded 8 Calli de Cristal (Crystal Calli) awards, 15 honorable mentions, and 3 professional merit awards for coherence—totaling 23 recognized works across different categories. The GRAND PRIZE was awarded to the project La Luz 1126 in the Vertical Collective Housing category, by architects León Guillermo Staines Díaz and Edith Cervantes Hernández.
