In this paper we present the construction process of the 11th edition of the São Paulo Architecture Biennial, carried out between 2016 and 2018, focusing on its structure as a research platform.Throughout the text we present a brief narrative about the process of construction of the Biennial, the definition of its format – which emphasizes the action in the territory – culminating in a critical review of the event in the current conjuncture of the field of architecture considering its social and political approach. With a focus placed in the geography of its own territory, the city of São Paulo, we present a constellation of actions, that is, a series of ‘places’ articulated by the event. Based on that experience we promoted a localized and situational reflexion, also globally articulated, introducing the challenges of its process and the outcomes of the event, including the register of the legacy proposed by that format.
