WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION

Parque(ando) is an initiative that proposes a welcoming and participatory use of public space, in which citizens transform streets into small parks for one day through the use of furniture, art installations, cultural expressions, recreational activities, and more.

ArpaFIL is a gathering focused on architecture, heritage, and the arts, held annually since 1995 as part of the Guadalajara International Book Fair (FIL). Since its inception, it has served as a forum where specialists and masters of architecture gather to promote, disseminate, share, and debate ideas with emerging professionals and the general public.

The Chapter’s Urbanism Commission will address the most prominent urban planning issues in the Monterrey metropolitan area and the state of Nuevo León. The session will feature architects Alexandre Lenoir, Oscar Martínez, Maricarmen Elosua, Ricardo Padilla, Fernando López, and Oscar Bulnes, as well as engineer Gabriel Todd.

The Ibero-American Congress on Technology and Innovation brings together more than 30 national and international leaders from the construction industry. This three-day event explores advancements and developments in the sector from a cutting-edge perspective, specifically designed for professionals and students seeking growth, training, professional updates, and the development of new ideas.

The event aims to strengthen construction firms by implementing digital modeling within new international technologies.

Jacobs was also an activist involved in many mid-century movements in New York to halt the draconian plans of Robert Moses, a powerful builder with significant political influence.
