“I
nternalities: Architectures for Territorial Equilibrium,” is the curatorial project by Roi Salgueiro and Manuel Bouzas chosen to represent Spain at the 19th International Architecture Exhibition—La Biennale di Venezia, opening to the public on May 10th, 2025.
The Spanish Pavilion of the 2025 Bienniale will highlight the work of a new generation of Spanish architects who are engaged with creating an architecture that actively engages natural and local materials while being energy efficient and economically viable. “Internalities” will present sixteen recent works from architecture and landscape architecture studios in Spain, among them – three architecture practices from Mallorca: Isla Architects, Ted’A & Munarq. In addition, Barcelona-based H-Arquitectes, was selected for their housing project in Palma, and Peril & Toral, for their social housing project in Ibizia. The Spanish Pavilion in this year’s Architecture Biennial shines a light on the positive and important movements across the Balearics in architecture and design.
“The projects in Mallorca were an inspiration for Internalities. As a biennial focused on how to approach the decarbonization of architecture and what measures can be taken to achieve it, Mallorca was already a reference point for us. In recent years, Mallorcan architects have been at the forefront in Spain in the use of local resources and highly decarbonized materials. This has occurred both through individual initiatives—private commissions, architects working independently or for others—and, in recent years, through the public administration itself, where the work carried out by the Balearic Institute of Housing, IBAVI, has been absolutely exemplary of how public policy can lead the way,” explain Salgueiro and Bouzas.
