More Human, More Living

The Instituto Cervantes New York hosts the exhibition of the Award-Winning Projects of the XIV Edition of the Spanish Architecture and Urbanism Biennial.

The 14th Spanish Architecture and Urbanism Biennial focuses on the notion of living as what underpins architecture and makes cities more human. This is explained not only through the various functional briefs, but also through the quality and the attributes of the spaces.

Más habitar, más humanizar (More Human, More Living) shows the recognition of a specialized jury to the best works of architecture and urbanism carried out in Spain and abroad by Spanish architects during the years 2016 and 2017. The exhibition also shows the recognition of research works linked to industrial development of the sector and the dissemination of architecture and research.

The exhibitors of this show, as characters speaking from their own voice, bring the visitor the most human image of each awarded work. The authors share their stories while the visitors observe how people inhabit it, and how the work is capable of humanizing the place that it inhabits.
