The Housing Department of the Basque Country, through the Directorate of Housing and Architecture and the Basque Country Architecture Institute, has begun to work on the design and organization of the third edition of the Basque Country International Architecture Biennial Mugak/, to be held next November, with events in the three Basque capitals. The central exhibition of the Biennial, located at the headquarters of the Basque Country Architecture Institute in Donostia-San Sebastián, will be focused on the work of the architect Carme Pinós.

The new edition of Mugak/ will be held under the headline 'Heritage and modernity' as the backbone of its different events and activities, whose organization has, as in previous editions, the collaboration of the School of Architecture of the University of the Basque Country and the participation of the Official College of Architects, the clusters of construction and furniture equipment and design, Eraikune and Habic, or the Peña Ganchegui Archive, among other entities.

The curator in charge of organizing and coordinating the Biennial is the architect José Angel Medina, current director of the Basque Country Architecture Institute, which will be the core of the third edition. Although the COVID-19 health crisis forces us to rethink some face-to-face formats, whose capacity could be reduced according to the evolution of the epidemic, exhibitions will continue to be the central channel of the Biennial, both in halls and in the streets of the three Basque capitals.



The Programme is being prepared
