The exhibition Wellbeing in the City, at the Casa de la Arquitectura and curated by Izaskun Chinchilla, is conceived as a critical device that reconsiders the foundations upon which urban wellbeing has historically been constructed. Rather than defining wellbeing as a set of indicators (life expectancy, obesity or diabetes rates) or the provision of services, the exhibition approaches it as a relational condition, dependent on the quality of interactions between bodies, communities, and environments. At the core of its conceptual framework lies the Quechua term Sumak Kawsay — Buen Vivir or Good Living — which integrates material, biological, social, and ecological dimensions within a single plane.

Heritage is often discussed in terms of preservation, yet its deeper value lies in how it shapes identity, belonging and meaning in the built environment. Rooted and Relevant will explore the role of heritage in contemporary placemaking, asking how historic context can ground development while remaining resonant for modern audiences. Is heritage too often absent from placemaking conversations? What is lost when identity is treated as a marketing exercise rather than something embedded in the cultural and physical fabric of a place?

The Bethel Woods Art and Architecture Festival returns to the historic site of Woodstock in 2026 to inaugurate a three-year curatorial initiative titled Acts of Construction. The first installment, Act One: Staging, focuses on the construction of large-scale architectural prototypes that prioritize adaptivity: the capacity of architecture to operate as both infrastructure and catalyst for future uses, performances, and occupations. The subsequent editions in 2027 and 2028 will concentrate on the reuse, transformation, and activation of the structures produced in 2026.
Belonging is not accidental - it is designed. This panel explores how architecture shapes belonging, not just by providing shelter, but by structuring everyday life.

Sand, stone, and earth are among the most extracted materials on the planet—yet their removal is rarely pictured, let alone understood as foundational to the built environment. In the exhibition DOMINIO: An Unfinished Visual Archive of Architectural Extractivism, on view in the Newmark Gallery at Art Omi from March 21–May 31, 2026, architectural photographer Onnis Luque traces these often-invisible origins of construction back to the raw landscapes from which they are born.
