The XV Spanish Biennial of Architecture and Urbanism, sponsored by COMPAC, presents the winning projects in Valladolid

  • On 6, 7 and 8 October 2021 the Architecture and Urbanism Congress of the XV BEAU, “Spain Empty, Spain Full. Reconciliation Strategies”, will take place at the headquarters of the Consejería de Fomento y Medio Ambiente de la Junta de Castilla y León.
  • The twenty works awarded at the XV BEAU will be presented by their authors.
  • In addition to these presentations, round tables and conferences of architects and institutions will be held with the participation of COMPAC The Surfaces Company.


    COMPAC, as the sole official sponsor, will participate in the Architecture and Urbanism Congress of the XV Spanish Biennial of Architecture and Urbanism, a collaboration with which the leading company in the manufacture of decorative surfaces and materials asserts its commitment to architecture. In this way, we highlight the importance of the work carried out by COMPAC for forty-five years at the service of architecture, innovating in the creation of new materials and proposing solutions to the challenges posed by architects.

    The Congress will be held in Valladolid on October 6, 7 and 8 and will host the presentations of the awarded works by the authors, as well as talks, lectures and round tables by architects and institutions. These conferences will serve as a meeting point and reflection on the profession of architect, with a firm will to bring architecture and urban planning closer to citizens.

    COMPAC is consolidated, with its participation in the Congress, as one of the benchmarks in the field of architecture and urban planning, both nationally and internationally. At COMPAC, innovation and sustainability are the main drivers of their philosophy. In their facilities they carry out intense creative work to develop new surfaces and high-quality materials. Collaborations with prestigious architects, designers and artists are one of the distinctive features of the company, which always seeks personalization and the best solution adapted to each specific case, thus becoming an active protagonist in the relationship between industry and architecture. Among the most recent projects and collaborations are the new pavilion of the Norman Foster Foundation in Madrid, the artist Arik Levy and the sculptor Rubén Fuentes Fuertes.

    The Congress will be concurrent with the last days in Valladolid of the exhibition on the awarded projects in the category „Panorama of works“ and will serve as the final point for the activities of the XV Biennial in Valladolid. This exhibition can be visited until October 10 at the Patio Herreriano, Museum of Contemporary Spanish Art, before embarking on the national and international tours.

    Attendance to the Congress is free with prior registration.
