· INTRODUCTION ·
The social catastrophe in Latin America has its epicenter in informal settlements.
Latin America, the most urbanized and unequal region in the world, is home to 104 million people living in informal settlements. Here, one in four urban residents lives in a slum, shantytown, favela, or encampment, in conditions of poverty. While not invisible, these populations are often rendered invisible, forced to survive on their own terms while facing constant rights violations and the exhausting test of their resilience.

The Multi Comfort Student Contest is a two-stage international competition based on the principles of the Saint-Gobain Multi Comfort Program.

The competition calls for the conceptualization of a coliving housing project as a replicable design tool for Mexico City, serving as a framework for other cities facing challenges related to overpopulation and the high demand for quality housing.

Invite the adventurous tourist to stay by creating optimal conditions in design, functionality, pragmatism, durability, and sustainability. The overall design of the Tren a las Nubes Adventure Camp must be sensitive to the surrounding context, ensuring a harmonious coexistence that integrates the proposal into the monumental structure.

Derived from the Latin initium, the term "inicio" (beginning) is defined by the RAE itself as a synonym for "comienzo" (start), which in turn is revealed as the "principle, origin, or root of something." Therefore, a beginning can be approached from two perspectives: the tangible, related to the existence of an order or a series of elements structured according to specific parameters; and the symbolic, representing a milestone linked to a future event that marks the start of an expression of desire. Indeed, one cannot speak of architecture without speaking of desire—one of the materials from which initial decisions are constructed.

On the night of April 15 in Paris, television networks, social media—the entire planet, in fact—watched as the Notre-Dame Cathedral burned. Tears, horror, and shock gripped the world at the prospect of seeing the most visited monument on Earth reduced to ashes; yet, after a long night, the city preserved Notre-Dame.

“The machine is invented to respond to specific needs. Once in existence, the operator can far exceed its original capabilities: by breaking the rules imposed by the machine itself, creative results emerge that were unimagined before using the machine, before breaking its rules.”
