International Architecture Biennale of São Paulo

The first BIA was held in 1973.

The BIA is held on alternating years from the São Paulo Art Biennial, another major international event hosted by the city. Both biennials used to be held in the Pavilhão Ciccillo Matarazzo building in the Ibirapuera Park (Parque do Ibirapuera). The large pavilion was designed by a team headed by Oscar Niemeyer and Hélio Uchôa.{{cite web|title=São Paulo Biennial|url=http://universes-in-universe.org/eng/bien/sao_paulo_biennial|access-date=November 23, 2011}}
