After representing Spain at the 19th Venice Architecture Biennale in 2025, Internalities: Architectures for Territorial Equilibrium arrives in Barcelona, with an exhibition at MUHBA Oliva Artés from 26 June to 13 September 2026.

To mark the opening, IAAC – Advanced Architecture Barcelona hosts a public talk on Friday 26 June, from 12:00 to 15:00, at ITNIG Spaces, bringing together architects, researchers and curators to discuss how architecture can build more regenerative relationships between materials, territories and the built environment.

Curated by Roi Salgueiro and Manuel Bouzas, Internalities looks at how architecture can reduce its environmental impact by reconnecting construction with local resources, regional production systems and the landscapes that materials come from. Its starting point is a simple question: nature produces no waste, so what would happen if architecture worked the same way? The project reads the Iberian Peninsula as a productive ecosystem and explores low-carbon, regenerative materials as a path towards decarbonising the sector.

Within that framework, Daniel Ibáñez, Director of IAAC, leads the exhibition’s Materials research, examining how industrialised timber construction can support the decarbonisation of architecture by strengthening regional material ecosystems.

The talk opens with presentations by Daniel Ibáñez and the curators, followed by a series of invited case studies from practices such as Harquitectes, Josep Ferrando, TAKK, Emiliano López and Mónica Rivera, and Anna & Eugeni Bach. It closes with a round table and Q&A featuring Albert Cuchí, Olga Subirós, Daniel Ibáñez, Roi Salgueiro and Manuel Bouzas, followed by a closing cocktail.

Attendance is free and places are very limited. To request a seat, write to communication@iaac.net.

The exhibition Internalities: Architectures for Territorial Equilibrium can be visited at MUHBA Oliva Artés from 26 June to 13 September 2026.
