Chile Architecture Biennial

The Chilean Architecture and Urbanism Biennial (Spanish: Bienal de Arquitectura y Urbanismo de Chile) is a major event organized by the Chilean Association of Architects since 1977. It aims to foster dialogue, reflection, and the exchange of ideas about architectural practice, serving as a platform to showcase the best Chilean architectural and urban projects form the past two years.

Since its inaugural edition, the biennial has been held in various cultural spaces across Santiago. In 2015, the event took place in Valparaíso, marking the first edition held outside the Chilean capital.

Since that year, curators for the event have been selected through an open call organized by the Chilean Association of Architects. Seven years later, the Ministry of Cultures, Arts, and Heritage joined the process of selecting curators and pavilion proposals.

The 2022 edition, titled «Vulnerable Habitats» (Hábitats vulnerables), was postponed until January 2023. It featured several installations around La Moneda Palace in Santiago, incluiding works by Smiljan Radić and Nicolás Schmidt, the reconstruction of a pavilion originally designed by Montserrat Palmer in 1972, and temporary structures designed by Jean Araya and Miguel Casassus, as well as Low Estudio.
