On 9 May, UIC Barcelona School of Architecture lecturer Vicenç Sarrablo took part as a jury member in the 14th edition of the Spanish Architecture and Urbanism Biennial (BEAU), which took place in Madrid under the slogan “Más Habitar, Más Humanizar” [More Inhabiting, More Humanising], in the Product and Publications categories. 

Over the years, the BEAU has come to organise a series of activities specifically related to Architecture and Urbanism, and incorporated projects from other categories that present solutions that are beneficial to society. 

This year, the Biennial emphasised the idea of inhabiting as the basis of Architecture and the humanisation of the city. A statement released by the organisers explains that this “entails improving relationships to make daily life easier”. 

Sarrablo was honoured in the Product category in the previous edition, as part of the Biennial’s 1st Call for Research Projects and, as a result, was asked to serve as jury member this year along with other prestigious and renowned professionals from the world of Architecture.
