This is an international call for consulting firms to submit expressions of interest for the development and formulation of the Special Management and Protection Plan (PEMP) for the Santa Elena Market in Santiago de Cali, Colombia. The market is the largest structure designed by Félix Candela in South America and is a designated municipal Cultural Interest Asset.
This presentation seeks to facilitate a conversation about the role of landscape architecture in our urban environment. The education and practice of the landscape architect are multidisciplinary by nature; we are designers, but at times we must act as facilitators, advocates, ecologists, economists, scientists, and engineers. Through a couple of my projects, I will narrate my professional trajectory, which has helped me change my perception of our work as multidisciplinary designers. This has also allowed me to witness how our communities have changed over the last few decades, learning to appreciate their environment in a more comprehensive way, and—more importantly—the social work and responsibility we each have to contribute to the maintenance and improvement of our cities.
Alma Du Solier
During the design month held every October in Mexico City, Coolhuntermx, curated by Taina Campos and Andrea Soler, proposes a space to amplify the voices of women designers, architects, and all creatives. Although they are gradually reclaiming and occupying a place on the country's design exhibition platforms, there is still a long way to go to make our disciplines an equal and fair terrain for developing our practices.
Through this congress, we aim to promote knowledge about the connection between cognitive sciences, neuroscience, architecture, and design, offering a broad overview of scientific, theoretical, and philosophical knowledge that integrates diverse perspectives for the practice of design and architecture with a humanistic approach.
Session 274. "Landscape Through" Gabriel Díaz Montemayor
This presentation begins with an interpretation of the built environment in Mexico and Latin America as a process and practice that emerges from the city and the landscape, which are culturally understood as a dichotomy. The "Landscape Through" approach invites us to consider the built environment as a network of embedded scales and systems, creating a diversity of thresholds, interstices, and ecotones that impact, support, and evolve alongside one another, suggesting their dissolution. There is no such thing as an intact, pristine natural environment, nor is there a complete, determined urban environment. This argument is presented as a reflection aimed at fostering a more socially and environmentally just habitat, one that is implementable for the transformation and regeneration of our cities. The presentation is structured around a theoretical framework and a variety of projects developed through applied academic research, design workshops as service initiatives, and professional projects.

Fábrica de Ciudad presents the new Continuing Education Seminars (SAC-FAB), digital spaces designed to foster interaction between architects, students, and professors with a focus on reflecting on architectural thought.
This lecture is designed for architects, landscape architects, urban planners, and climate activists. It focuses specifically on the public urban landscape and the importance of making cities "climate-ready." With over 40 years of experience, Martha Schwartz and her firm have completed projects worldwide, ranging from site-specific art installations to public spaces, parks, master planning, and land reclamation. Schwartz is now dedicated to strategic landscape planning and land use, helping leaders prepare for the climate change impacts their cities will face in the near future. This is undoubtedly a lecture you won't want to miss.

The climate crisis is driving architects to integrate solar energy as an essential component of architecture right from the start of the design process. Consequently, companies have been prompted to develop new products that go beyond conventional photovoltaic panels installed on roofs or additional support structures.
