The Quechua Architecture Competition invites all participants to take part in this one-week challenge and develop a project that explores diverse fields of thought and design. The challenge for this edition: "Shadow Pavilion."
Throughout history, light has served as a vital guide for humanity. It has even been revered as a deity in some religions or portrayed as the source of power for legendary heroes. Architecture is no stranger to this narrative.
From the Pantheon in Rome to the Monastery of La Tourette in L'Arbresle, light has occupied the minds of architects for centuries and remains as significant as ever. For this edition, we have selected one of the most compelling cities where light serves as a key subject of study for designers, owing to its global position: Quito, Ecuador.
