The Chilean Architecture and Urbanism Biennial is a significant event that has been organized by the Chilean Association of Architects since 1977.[1] It aims to create a space for meeting, reflection, and exchange of ideas about architectural work, serving as a showcase for the best architectural and urban projects of the last two years.[2]

Expositions

[edit]

Since its inaugural edition, the biennial has been held in various cultural spaces in Santiago. In 2015, the event took place in Valparaíso, making it the first edition outside the Chilean capital.[3]

Since 2015, the selection of curators for the event has been conducted through an open call launched by the Chilean Association of Architects.[4] Seven years later, the Ministry of Cultures, Arts, and Heritage joined the selection process of pavilion proposals.[5]

The 2022 edition, entitled Vulnerable Habitats (Hábitats vulnerables), was postponed until January 2023 and featured several installations around La Moneda Palace in Santiago. These installations included designs by Smiljan Radić and Nicolás Schmidt, the reconstruction of a pavilion originally designed by Montserrat Palmer in 1972, and temporary structures designed by Jean Araya and Miguel Casassus, as well as Low Estudio.[6]
