The First BAI Symposium aims to raise awareness of the principles that structure the National Center for Robotization and Innovation in Architecture. The symposium also aims to promote debate on the relationships between technological innovation, architecture, the city, and the humanities in general. The symposium addresses open questions in a manner that is open, holistic, critical, and transversal. The symposium gives voice to architects, engineers, technologists, sociologists, economists, politicians, and other civil society representatives. It raises critical questions within five interrelated fields of debate: Design-Innovation-New Technologies, Environment-Construction-History, Thought-Criticism-Project, City-Economy-Society, and the Advanced Projects Laboratory. The 1st BAI Symposium takes place from November 18 to 20, 2025, in the Sala de Armas of the Citadel of Pamplona. It is also the setting for the presentation of innovation projects developed by the first students of the National Robotization Center during the M-Zero workshops from October to November 2025.
