Curated by: Izaskun Chinchilla Exhibition Design: Izaskun Chinchilla Architects Scientific Committee: Izaskun Chinchilla, Marta Poch, Caterina Capdevila, Marisa Yiu, Elke Krasny, Alejandra Celedón Forster, Ana Robles Pérez y Marina Otero Verzier
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 subsequent editions in 2027 and 2028 will concentrate on the reuse, transformation, and activation of the structures produced in 2026.
