Costa Rica Architecture Biennial 2026 Opens Registration

The Colegio de Arquitectos de Costa Rica (CACR) has opened registration for the Bienal Internacional de Arquitectura Costa Rica 2026, scheduled for May 27–30, 2026, in San José, Costa Rica. Under the theme 'Arquitectura Esencial' (Essential Architecture), the event invites reflection on architecture that prioritizes the human, the habitable, and the meaningful—not extreme minimalism but a revaluation of identity, function, and purpose. The biennial includes an academic program, exhibition, and awards competition open to professionals and students in categories such as architectural design, urban design, habitat, collective housing, social housing, and climate adaptation. With a consolidated trajectory in promoting regional architectural thought, the biennial positions itself as a space for exchange, reflection, and action for architects and students across the Americas.
