The exhibition Argigram, curated by Martin Huberman, will be on view from July 23 to September 8, 2019, at the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Mar del Plata (MAR).

Featuring contributions from Alarcia-Ferrer, Ana Rascovsky (Supersudaca), Ana Smud, Diego Arraigada, BAAG, IR arquitectura, Manuel Cucurell, Monoblock, and Sustantivo Colectivo, the exhibition serves as a reaction against the present, driven by a desire to project ourselves forward—toward the uncertain, toward the unknown.

The fourth edition of the International Forum on Urban Interventions (FIIU) will take place this year in Lima from August 5 to 11.

The event has launched an open call for collectives, students, activists, organized citizens, and private or public institutions to participate by sharing their initiatives and projects on one of the region's most significant stages for urban interventions and public space.

Concéntrico 06, the International Festival of Architecture and Design of Logroño, will take place from April 29 to May 3, 2020. The festival invites reflection on the urban environment and the city through architecture and design proposals in various formats.

To this end, the festival is launching three international competitions for three specific sites. The objective is to create a Pavilion in the Plaza de Escuelas Trevijano and two installations: one at the Paseo del Espolón and another at Viña Lanciano for Bodegas LAN.

How can we intervene in existing structures to improve environmental, urban, social, and economic conditions?

The third edition of the 'Proyectar a Conciencia' 3.0 competition, scheduled for the second half of 2019, addresses this question by inviting teams of 2 to 4 students, guided by an architect, to explore how to modernize existing buildings to reduce energy consumption and meet contemporary environmental goals—particularly in light of the upcoming COP25.

Developed by the Architecture, Technology, and Processes Laboratory (LAT) of the University of Azuay's School of Architecture, the "Structural Wood Catalog of Ecuador" identifies, classifies, and establishes criteria for the most commonly used structural woods in the country.

Awarded first place in the National Award (Category E: Theory, History, and Criticism of Architecture, Urbanism, and Landscape) at the 2018 Pan-American Architecture Biennial of Quito (BAQ 2018), the publication "is not focused solely on generating an inventory or technical manual; rather, it seeks to become a practical reference tool so that architecture students and professionals involved in the construction industry can make informed decisions regarding the selection of a specific type of wood for a given project."

In his book "Tracing the Horizon," Alfonso Arango González explores the line that defines the space above and below. He examines how five contemporary architects conceive and represent this line in their work, while also compiling the cosmogonic narratives of five distinct cultures regarding the sky and the earth, and their translation into built space. Read a review of the book in the author's own words below.

Two decades since its inception, the Cultural Heritage Day in Chile has established itself as a widely attended event dedicated to both celebrating and reflecting on our shared heritage. This year, the event will feature a variety of free activities held on Saturday, May 25, and Sunday, May 26.

ArchDaily is a constantly evolving digital project. It is an experiment in the documentation, discussion, and dissemination of key architecture and urbanism topics on a scale that would have been impossible twenty years ago. Today, we are happy to announce that our team in Colombia is growing.

Our content team works continuously to bring together readers from around the world on a platform that operates in four languages: Spanish, English, Portuguese, and Mandarin Chinese. Our primary goal is to ensure that all discussions surrounding architecture and the city reach the widest possible global audience.

As we grow, we are looking for talented new writers and editors. Are you passionate about architecture and the internet? If so, this opportunity might be for you!

In collaboration, CityMakers and ArchDaily are issuing a final call to apply for one of the 50% tuition-free scholarships to participate in the Barcelona CityMakers Lab 2019. This experience, focused on city-making, learning, and networking, promotes the transformation of cities and territories by connecting professionals from around the world in the "mecca" of urbanism, allowing them to explore practices in global projection, mobility, the built environment, economy, and governance, and to inspire change within their own communities.

At ArchDaily en Español, we recognize the need to maintain constant contact with architecture students, who will be responsible for designing and building the cities of the future. For this reason, we periodically open a call for applications to join our editorial team through our internship program.

If you currently reside in Argentina, this could be your opportunity to contribute local content to the world's most visited architecture platform, which inspires and informs hundreds of thousands of architects around the globe. If you are interested, please read on.

The inaugural “Barcelona CityMakers Lab 2019” will take place from October 14 to 20, offering a week to learn about and experience Barcelona. Over the course of seven days, city-making professionals from around the world will participate in workshops, lectures, panels, urban itineraries, specialized site visits, and interactions with the leading figures and institutions currently reinventing the “Barcelona model.”

The Spanish Council of Architects' Associations (CSCAE) is launching, for the first time jointly, its awards for Spanish Architecture, International Spanish Architecture, Urban Planning, and the Gold Medal for Architecture.

Through these, the CSCAE aims to recognize the best work in the fields of architecture and urban planning, as well as the individuals and institutions whose efforts elevate the architectural profession.

Argentina was selected by vote at the General Assembly of the Bureau International des Expositions to host Expo 2023. For the first time on Latin American soil, the event focuses on creative industries as a synthesis of science, art, and technology to drive economic growth, increase employment, foster intelligence, improve quality of life, and generate sustainable development.

With a three-month duration, the event expects an estimated nine million visitors. In this context, the design of the habitat is not merely a requirement but a central component of the event's theme. Consequently, six international ideas competitions will be launched to solicit proposals for the construction of the Expo 2023 site, which will subsequently serve as a legacy: a major metropolitan park for science and knowledge, and a campus for creative industries.

The 17th Architecture Biennale will take place in Venice from May 23 to November 29, 2020. The Patronato Cultural del Perú is currently in the first stage of its open call to select the project that will represent the country at the Biennale.

The call for entries for the urban intervention festival 100 en 1 día Santiago, which invites citizens to carry out actions in public spaces over the course of a single day, is open until August 18.

The FAD Awards 2021, one of the most prestigious architecture accolades on the Iberian Peninsula, has announced the finalist projects for its latest edition.

With the opening of the 17th Venice Architecture Biennale, 60 nations from around the world showcased unique responses to the question "How will we live together?". Neither the pandemic nor its repercussions stood in the way of the curators' creative process. Instead, they used it as an opportunity to explore how the notion of 'living together' has changed over the past year, and how to reimagine better built environments. ArchDaily had the opportunity to meet with architect Gerardo Caballero, head of the Argentine Pavilion, to discuss how the pavilion's innovative material came about and what it means for the future of architecture.

Many of our ideas about the cities of tomorrow are shifting as we confront today's pressing global challenges—from the climate crisis to how we will live together.
