Since 1978, the Pichincha College of Architects (CAE-P) has been organizing the QUITO PAN AMERICAN ARCHITECTURE BIENNIAL (BAQ) in November of even-numbered years, considered one of the most important architecture events on the American continent, which is made up of three axes: Contest, Academic and Cultural.
In its next edition, BAQ2022 will address the theme: "INFLEXIONS: TO SEE AGAIN", which allows us to see things from different points of view and build bridges between the architecture of the past, present and future. It will be the meeting place that addresses the discussion and debate on architecture around the turning points in history; those that generate questions and demand reflections from those of us who act on it.
As has become a tradition, the BAQ includes the Biennial Competition, recognized around the world for being an open call for projects and publications produced during the four years before each biennial that recognizes the best practices in design and contemporary architecture. In its twenty-two editions, it has received more than 7,000 entries and has rewarded contributions to the practice of architecture, urban planning, landscape, architectural theory, and dissemination.
This year, one of the main objectives of the BAQ2022 Organising Committee is to consolidate and deepen both the processes and the products of the Biennial Competition, maintaining the multiplicity of views and practices. This time, 5 prizes have been proposed, which are divided into several categories of participation:
