El Croquis 219 IBAVI (2019-2023) A Collective Research

The Balearic Social Housing Institute (IBAVI) is a public organisation attached to the Mobility and Housing Ministry of the Balearic Islands. Since 1986, its main objective has been the promotion and rental of social housing. The institute bases its constant efforts on two core objectives: tackling both the current housing crisis and the ongoing climate emergency. The majority of projects are designed by external studios – from experienced, well-known teams to young, emerging talents. Besides presenting the most significant works carried out by IBAVI, this issue includes a conversation with IBAVI general manager Cris Ballester Parets and architect Carles Oliver Barceló.
