XX Bienal Panamericana de Arquitectura de Quito

The 20th Pan-American Architecture Biennial of Quito (BAQ 2016)-under the theme "the useful classroom, best practices in the academy"-is looking for identifying local and worldwide innovative academic experiences that contribute to public interests. Such experiences include practices that can directly improve communities' social, economic, and environmental conditions, and that may be replicable as models that can be applied elsewhere. One of the most important and significance events of the XX BAQ2016, were undoubtedly the competitions that, in this edition, convened a total of 690 participants, of which 98 presented their projects in the Gold Medal Competition and 592 in the various categories. All the projects presented are projects completed.
