Internalities: Architectures for Territorial Equilibrium
Book
2025
Internalities is the project selected to represent the Spanish Pavilion at the 19th Venice Architecture Biennale 2025. Curated by Roi Salgueiro and Manuel Bouzas, it examines how architects can—and must—minimize the environmental externalities of production processes. The accompanying book and newspaper (catalogue), published by Arquia Foundation and edited by the curators, features contributions from exhibition participants and includes more than a dozen original critical essays by international scholars—including Iñaqui Carnicero, Albert Cuchí, Alan Organschi, Rania Ghosn, Summer Islam, Felix Heisel, and Olga Subirós—complementing texts by the curators and by the researchers responsible for each of the five Internalities axes: Materials (Daniel Ibáñez and Carla Ferrer), Energy (Aurora Armental and Stefano Ciurlo), Labor (Anna & Eugeni Bach), Residues (Lucas Muñoz and Joan Vellvé), and Emissions (Carles Oliver and David Mayol). The book highlights the work of a new generation of Spanish architects whose practices prioritize local, regenerative, and low-carbon-footprint resources, deepening the regional ecologies of materials such as wood, stone, and earth, as well as the forests, quarries, and soils from which they are sourced. Understood as an in-depth design research project, the book aims to foster a conversation on how architecture can strengthen new territorial balances and develop novel agreements between ecologies and economies.
