Submitted proposals focus on solutions and approaches that reshape the way human actions have approached and transformed the environment, whether urban, rural, or natural.

The competition's objective is to submit a project in a location and theme freely chosen by the interested parties, within the thematic proposal of the 14th BIAsp. The architecture and urban planning programs selected their projects and registered a representative for the International Competition of Schools of Architecture and Urban Planning.

The proposals present diverse contexts and scales and value regional, social, economic and cultural differences, within the understanding that architectural design must contribute to the possibility of sustaining life on the planet, through more effective and viable solutions, and through the engagement of the population and their governments.

NOTE OF CONDOLENCE

With deep sorrow, the Brazilian Institute of Architects – São Paulo Department (IABsp) mourns the passing of architect and landscape architect Kongjian Yu, a global leader in ecological urbanism, and the members of his team who accompanied him, tragically killed during the filming of a documentary. The institute is honored to have had him as a participant in the 14th São Paulo International Architecture Biennial, where his transformative vision strengthened the dialogue between global challenges and local realities. IABsp emphasizes that Yu's contribution, which transcends borders, will remain an inspiration for generations and expresses its condolences to China, to the families of all the deceased, to his friends, and to all those impacted by his genius and dedication.
