Peruvian Association of Architects - Ze Carlos Cornejo
The National Council of the College of Architects of Peru (CAP) and the Municipality of San Isidro are launching the National Ideas Competition: Design of Plaza 3 in San Isidro. This is a public, anonymous competition open to participants nationwide.
The competition aims to promote the development and revitalization of a public space currently underutilized as a parking lot. The goal is to reclaim this area for the benefit of residents and visitors, creating a welcoming gathering place. Furthermore, the urban design proposal is expected to serve as a benchmark for future competitions focused on the design and recovery of public spaces within the district.
Building on the success of the 2017 inaugural “inHAUS LAB – Design Your Modular House” competition, Casas inHAUS is launching a second edition. We want to acknowledge the overwhelming response to the previous edition by increasing the prize money.

It aims to promote new ways of practicing architecture among students and recent graduates from all schools of architecture and related disciplines, rewarding those who stand out for their creativity in seeking new modular housing solutions.
Pay attention: this competition raises (and questions) three critical pillars of the architectural reality in Peru. On one hand, it addresses the integration of architects as citizens, whose social role is indispensable. Likewise, it seeks to make the city's forgotten sectors (and their inhabitants) visible in order to intervene in them—alongside them—by joining forces between professionals (knowledge/experience) and families (ideas/needs). Finally, it tackles a significant challenge: social housing, which is precarious and largely absent in our country, despite the latent opportunities for its relationship with public space. Behind this union of visions lies a sensitive message: we must broaden our perspective to address truly fundamental issues through architecture, in favor of creating visible cities.

Chile's Ministry of Housing and Urbanism has launched an ideas competition to design the "Paseo del Mar," a new public space at the Barón Pier, located directly on the coastline of the city of Valparaíso.
"The Barón Pier has shaped the history of Valparaíso and Chile. This site served as the engine of the country's railway industry throughout much of the 19th and 20th centuries. However, these grounds no longer possess their former vitality and have been abandoned over time. In the 21st century, the residents of Valparaíso want this area to reclaim its place in the history of the port and in their daily lives, but transformed into a major public space," the ministry explains in the competition guidelines.
The Instituto Cremme is pleased to invite students of Architecture and Urbanism, Design, Photography, Communication, and Fine Arts in São Paulo to participate in a competition held as part of the exhibition "Experimenting with Le Corbusier – Contemporary Interpretations of Modernism," currently on view at the Museu da Casa Brasileira through August 12.
