Premise:
In a world where urban populations are rapidly expanding, space is becoming a limited and valuable resource. High land prices, increasing density, and growing environmental concerns have led to the urgent need for innovative compact living solutions. This competition calls for a redefinition of urban living, where the challenge is to create livable, functional spaces within constrained footprints. Participants are encouraged to explore the potential of compact design to address housing, education, and overall city planning in ways that prioritize both efficiency and quality of life.

Architecture in Spain has emphasized the revitalization of buildings and historic centers, fostering more balanced urban development. This approach reflects an architecture aimed at a sustainable future, promoting the densification of urban cores and the recovery of existing structures through remodeling, reuse, expansion, or renovation. In this context, we are pleased to announce our collaboration with ICEX. Together, we seek to highlight and recognize the innovative work of Spanish architects, whose proposals inspire new and better practices in urban remodeling.

Migration has been a constant phenomenon throughout human history and has played a fundamental role in the formation and development of cities. While it may not appear to be a particularly novel approach at first glance, there are few topics more relevant today than migration, which is intersected by political, geostrategic, economic, environmental, and urban issues. Today, new structural factors are driving it with greater force than ever before. Instability in the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America, the war in Ukraine, climate change, poverty, and population growth only serve to increase the flow of people seeking a better place in the world.
