The internationally established Pan-American Architecture Biennial of Quito, BAQ2024, held its latest edition this past November 2024 in the historic center of the Ecuadorian capital. The event brought together experts in the architectural discipline from all over the world for dialogue and reflection on the future of our cities, architecture, and the contemporary urban landscape. Under the theme CONVERGENCES: landscape architectures, this latest edition offered a deep reflection on the role of architecture in transforming the urban landscape—a topic of particular relevance in times of environmental, urban, and social challenges.
A key highlight of BAQ2024 was its prestigious awards program. The Biennial Competition focused on completed works and publications, receiving 752 submissions from 22 countries. Out of these, 79 projects were selected as finalists, with 27 ultimately emerging as winners.
