The College of Architects of Nuevo León presents the latest edition of the Nuevo León Architecture Biennial (BANL) for the 2024-2026 biennium. Held for the past 46 years, it is the first and longest-running architecture biennial in the country, continuing its legacy as a reference point at the regional and national levels, and as a curated selection for various international forums.
The ground we walk on is composed of layers of history buried over time: infrastructures, vegetation, animals, and human beings who inhabited these territories form a collection of sedimented layers and historical deposits that combine with geological layers from deep time. This interrelation between the artificial and the geological is especially evident in the forgotten infrastructures buried beneath our cities. How can we unearth both the memory and the material evidence of these? And what does this tell us about what we have collectively forgotten?
CUADRANTE Art, Design, and Architecture Meeting will take place from October 30 to November 9, 2025, as part of Nuevo León’s most significant cultural celebration: the Santa Lucía International Festival. After 16 years of bringing together prominent international artists, the city of Monterrey transforms into a grand stage with an extensive program dedicated to the arts.
From June 28 to July 2, 2026, Barcelona will host the UIA World Congress of Architects 2026, becoming a true international open laboratory for architecture that will attract more than 10,000 professionals, representatives of the academic community, and students from around the world to discuss the future of the planet and the role of architecture in the most urgent and necessary upcoming transitions.
