Under the motto of "Living on the margins", the XII BIAU rewards the most outstanding Ibero-American architecture according to quality, but also to the contribution to the search for alternative habitats for a more optimistic, sustainable and fair urban future.

As a novelty of this edition, the Actions on the Margin category will reward proposals that go beyond established standards and provide alternatives to architectural practice itself to improve the ways of inhabiting our ecosystems.
Convened by the Government of Spain through the Ministry of Transport, Mobility and Urban Agenda (MITMA), through the General Directorate of Urban Agenda and Architecture, in collaboration with the Superior Council of Colleges of Architects of Spain (CSCAE) and the Arquia Foundation, the XII BIAU will reward the most relevant of Ibero-American architecture and urbanism through the categories Panorama of Works, Publications, Teaching Programs, Research, Career and the unpublished category of Actions on the Margin. In addition, this year the BIAU will be held jointly with Arquine, a Mexican entity that spreads architectural culture through its magazine and exhibition and informative projects such as the MEXTRÓPOLI Architecture and City Festival.
Under the curatorship of a team of architects with different and complementary profiles —undo architecture, made up of Anna Vergés and Guillem Augé based in Barcelona and Torolab, made up of Raúl Cárdenas and Ana Martínez, based in Tijuana (Mexico)— and the theme Living on the margins as the main axis, the XII BIAU is articulated around the search for proposals and experiences focused on housing and the habitability of the city.

Another novelty of this edition is the launch of its own website through which the different proposals selected for the XII BIAU can be seen, as well as all the details of each of the finalist projects in all categories.
The website, which functions as a map on which each of the projects and initiatives in the different categories are geographically located, acts as a viewer that shows the diversity of Ibero-American architectural realities.
