Innovation and sustainability in building materials
The new range of lime-based thermal plasters by Röfix is designed to provide advanced insulation solutions.
Organized by the Colegio de Arquitectos del Ecuador since 1978, “La Bienal Abierta” has as its main objective to open the architectural discourse to other fields. With this in mind, the biennial will conduct an architectural open dialogue with five key subjects: nature, society, economy, culture, and science.
The conference series includes: Sou Fujimoto (Japan), R&SIen (France), Andrés Jaque (Spain), Javier Sánchez (Mexico), Al-Borde (Ecuador), Josep María Montaner (Spain), Felipe Mesa (Colombia), and Rafael Doctor Doncero (Spain).
The winners of the competition’s multiple categories—architectural design, urban design, landscape design, social habitat and development, renovation and reuse, and theory, history and criticism,—will be announced on the 17th.
