| History of the Biennial |
In Argentina and the rest of the world, architecture is one of the oldest activities of humankind, and the most linked to the existence of men. The 60’s witnessed everywhere, a real flowering of architecture, a phenomenon that came to be more intense in the 70’s.
Through lectures, exhibitions, conferences and international meetings, it also suppor ts the work of young ar tists and architects to create and encourage dialogue and debate.
As from the return of the democracy in Argentina in 1984, architecture became one of the most important communication forums in the
country and generated contacts and exchanges between professionals, artists and intellectuals from all over the world.
Therefore, the Biennial was born, which first edition was held in 1985. Since its inception, Biennials have constantly referred to the past, present and future. The Buenos Aires International Biennale of Architecture, together with the ones in Venice and Sao Paulo, is considered one of the largest in the world due to its continuity in time, the number of visitors attending the conferences and because it gathers the most prestigious professionals in the country and abroad as speakers and lecturers, whose work and ideas have served to exhibit works and remarkable projects.
For the last twenty years (1985 to 2010), crosslinked, moving and fascinating dialogues and debates have been generated in Buenos Aires.
