The 25th Pan-American Architecture Biennial of Quito – PROHIBIDO NO TOCAR takes over the city with the Design Competition for Pavilions in Public Spaces in the city of Quito.
Quito, Ecuador. The 25th Pan-American Architecture Biennial of Quito – PROHIBIDO NO TOCAR, organized by the College of Architects of Ecuador Pichincha (CAE-P), has opened the call for entries for the Playful-Educational Pavilion Design Competition, an initiative that will intervene in nine strategic public spaces throughout the city of Quito.
In its twenty-fifth edition, the Biennial presents a clear premise: architecture is not meant to be observed from a distance; it is exposed to touch. PROHIBIDO NO TOCAR is not articulated solely through history; it engages with it openly to recognize what remains alive, identify what no longer resonates, and reaffirm that architecture is essential.
