BAL 2015. IV Bienal de Arquitectura latinoamericana en Pamplona

Abstract

Last April, while international focus on modern Latin American architecture of the past was firmly placed on the ambitious exhibition held by the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, the Fourth Latin American Architecture Biennial, BAL 2015, was held in Pamplona. In its fourth year, the Biennial has gained momentum as a meeting point for celebrating the fresh, new architecture of Latin America. Twelve teams from seven countries (Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru) were chosen to participate in this edition. Teams from two prior participating countries (Uruguay and Paraguay) also attended. A total of 30 teams from nine countries had the opportunity to present and describe their projects. For a few days, Pamplona was a celebration of the best of today’s emerging Latin American architecture and provided a glimpse of what its immediate future might look like. The Biennial lasted three days and included lectures, roundtable discussions, exhibitions and cultural visits. For the first time, the program included additional activities in Madrid and Barcelona.
