The Professional Council of Architecture and Urbanism (CPAU) and the Central Society of Architects (SCA) invite architects to participate in the "Arquitectura Argentina Solidaria" open call. The initiative aims to gather ideas and initiatives from work, projects, built works, and research conducted over the last five years by architects with a focus on solidarity and social inclusion.

Amid the health and socioeconomic crisis caused by the coronavirus, we have seen how prolonged physical isolation can affect citizen behavior and generate uncertainty about returning to the streets—that is, to the city itself. The emergence of this pandemic has cast public space as the antagonist in a real-life drama, exposing us to potential contagion. However, public space is also a central part of the solution. As we navigate the daily recovery and reopening phases of our cities, we face the challenging task of ensuring that daily activities are conducted under safe protocols.

This is a single-stage, open ideas competition. It is jointly organized by the Taller de Desarrollo Urbano (TaDU - Venezuela), the Peruvian Organization of Architecture Students (OPEA - Peru), and Más Ciudad Arq. (Peru). The competition is open to students and recent graduates (thesis students) of architecture, landscape architecture, urban planning, design, or any related field. Teams of up to 5 people may be formed, with the option to include a maximum of one recent graduate or bachelor (thesis student) who has completed their university coursework within the last two years.
