The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need to seek new ways of living and daily solutions. The economic crisis triggered across various sectors has made it essential to invest in initiatives that contribute to overcoming these challenges, ultimately reflecting on the well-being and health of all. In response, the Council of Architecture and Urbanism of Rio Grande do Sul (CAU/RS) has launched the "Healthy House – Healthy City" public ideas competition, which reinforces the role of architects and urbanists as essential agents in developing solutions for a healthier and safer society. Furthermore, CAU/RS believes that hosting competitions is a democratic way to identify quality proposals that benefit society as a whole.

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced Latin American cities to rethink their policies to address the new local reality and the challenge of maintaining a balance between economic performance and the social well-being of their citizens, especially those who are most vulnerable.

The CONSTRULITA Lighting Awards return in 2021 to recognize those who, even during the pandemic, continue to enhance spaces through light.

Accordingly, this competition invites anyone dedicated to lighting design or related fields to register their projects and showcase their talent to the world.
This initiative by Grupo Construlita aims to serve as a platform for new generations seeking recognition, providing a space where their talent and experience can continue to grow and become part of the lighting community in Mexico and Latin America.
Starting Monday, September 6, the online registration platform will be open to professionals and students in fields related to architecture, interior design, industrial design, product design, lighting design, and engineering who currently reside in Colombia, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, or the Dominican Republic.
Projects may be registered in five professional categories: Architectural Lighting, Interior Lighting, Light-Art, Product Design, and Connect +IoT—a new category focused on the integration of new connectivity technologies with lighting.
