Sea ice in the Arctic region is crucial for maintaining the global climate due to its reflectivity. The melting of this ice can further accelerate global warming due to positive feedback loops, where warming generates more heat as solar absorption increases. The loss of this ice sheet may represent a tipping point in global warming, triggering the 'runaway' effect of climate change.

This is a special year for creating a new Lima with a memory; that is our decree (and our wish). Now more than ever: Let's reclaim the memory of Lima as a thousand-year-old city.
Amidst the shifting sands of Lima's reality, one of the most solid foundations is the huacas. And this is their year, as they will represent the Peruvian pavilion at the Venice Biennale. For this reason, to elevate and share them with more people, this edition of the 6th Photography Competition by Lima Milenaria focuses exclusively on photographs of these ancient ceremonial centers... huacas everywhere. The winning photographs will have the opportunity to be displayed at the Biennale, among other important prizes.
You don't have to go far to capture a huaca in time; just go for a walk (or dig through your archives). We are surrounded by them, or we live while surrounding them, even if we forget. This is an act to remember, commemorate, and better understand them. What is the relationship between Lima's citizens and the huacas in the city? See them with new eyes—don't just pass by; stop and admire them. So much history, wisdom, mystery, poetry, and reflection... Just don't delay in capturing them; the deadline for submissions is midnight on January 10. Read on to learn how to participate.

Since the late 19th and mid-20th centuries, the monorail has been a staple of science fiction's visions of the urban future. Beyond the Space Age aesthetic, its implementation is relatively affordable and rapid when compared to the cost, time, and impact of underground subway systems. Surprisingly, there are few operational examples, and those currently in use are often conceived in isolation from other urban needs.

The 2018 World Cup ended just a few weeks ago. It concluded an intense month that not only impacted the world of sports but also had direct repercussions on the host country's economy, tourism, and urban planning. Russia was the chosen host country. A total of 12 stadiums across 11 Russian cities were built or renovated for the tournament. But have you ever considered what happens when Olympic stadiums, World Cup venues, or other costly sports infrastructure close after the events for which they were designed? Many host local sports clubs. Others, however, become what we call "white elephants," used as parking lots, car racing tracks, or even—as in the case of Montreal's spectacular Olympic Stadium—a flu vaccination center. In "Residential Stadium: Adaptive Reuse," Archstorming aims to analyze how architecture can provide solutions for stadium design, ensuring they can be repurposed once the sporting event has concluded.

Chucuito, a Peruvian town at 3,800 meters above sea level, welcomed students and architects from across Latin America in late March to reflect, debate, design, and build public facilities during an intense ten-day workshop. This was the spirit of the XV Latin American Social Workshop Puno (XV TSL Puno), directed by the Latin American Coordinator of Architecture Students (CLEA) and the Peruvian Organization of Architecture Students (OPEA).
As part of our intensive on-site coverage, ArchDaily en Español has been publishing articles on the various discussions and reflections that have emerged from the event. To date, we have covered the construction details and the themes addressed by facilitators and students; soon, we will share a first-person account of our team's experience in Peru.
However, this coverage would be incomplete without the perspectives of the 250 students who participated in the workshop. If you attended the XV TSL Puno, have a passion for writing, and have something to say about it, this open call is for you.

Qianhai is located in the western part of Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, on the eastern bank of the Pearl River Estuary. Adjacent to Hong Kong, it is planned as a future demonstration zone for deep cooperation between Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao, as well as a new urban center. To develop a series of high-level, high-quality iconic buildings that establish a new landmark for Qianhai in terms of form, design, and function, and to enhance the area's influence and appeal, the Qianhai Authority intends to construct the Qianhai International Financial Exchange Center in Unit 1 of the Guiwan area.
