It is part of the global Open House Worldwide network, which takes place in more than 50 cities around the world with a common goal: to bring architecture closer to society and raise awareness about its influence on our way of life.

The general objective of this ideas competition is to foster reflection, commitment, entrepreneurial spirit, and innovation among students and recent university graduates, while promoting a better understanding of the technical and management factors that add value and influence the dynamics of urban complexes dedicated to tourism, commerce, and leisure.
