The three main pedestrian walkways in the historic center of Santiago, Chile, are set to be remodeled. The Municipality of Santiago announced this with the launch of a public competition seeking proposals for the Ahumada-Puente, Huérfanos, and Estado-21 de Mayo walkways.

This initiative marks the 40th anniversary of the transformation of Ahumada Street into a pedestrian walkway—an artery that currently sees over two million people pass through daily and connects Santiago's Plaza de Armas with the Alameda, the Chilean capital's main east-west thoroughfare.

ArchDaily is a constantly evolving digital project. It is an experiment in the documentation, discussion, and dissemination of the most important topics in architecture and urbanism on a scale that would not have been possible twenty years ago. Today, we are thrilled to announce that our team in Colombia is growing!

Our content team works to deliver knowledge to readers around the world on a digital 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!

The fifth edition of Concéntrico, the international architecture and design festival in Logroño, Spain, will invite reflection on the urban environment and the city through architecture and design proposals in various formats.

The upcoming edition will take place from April 26 to May 1, 2019. In addition to this announcement, the festival has opened calls for three competitions for participation at three of the festival's sites.

Every year, hundreds of students graduate as architects across Colombia, producing projects and theses that reflect their personal interests, research, and motivations. Unfortunately, once their studies conclude, these projects often remain buried in a laptop folder or on a library shelf. We know, however, that many of these theses address fundamental issues in contemporary architectural practice, not only in Colombia but globally.

For this reason, we are launching the third edition of our open call for graduation theses in Colombia. If you believe your undergraduate or graduate thesis is strong enough to be published on ArchDaily and deserves global recognition, it is time to submit your entry using the form at the end of this article.

It is eight in the morning, and the car's dashboard display reads 36°C on the streets of San Pedro Sula, Honduras. The sky is almost clear: an intense blue with a few bright, drifting clouds. The air conditioning in the cars—all with tinted windows—makes you forget that upon stepping out, the warm, humid air will immediately weigh on your shoulders and break a sweat.

Puerto Cortés on the Caribbean coast is too far away for a quick dip, but in the neighborhood of Armenta, the eponymous river flows almost silently down from the Sierra del Merendón, running from west to east through gray stones. On the northern bank, tall, leafy trees along the upper edge of the ravine shade a long, dry, and dusty plaza, while thick, exposed roots give texture to the ground. The sun is less punishing.

For the third time since its founding in 2002, Colombia will host the Latin American Social Workshop of Architecture Students under the name 'Tejiendo Paisajes: TSL Manizales 2022', marking the event's first edition since the start of the pandemic.

Twenty years after its first edition in Colombia, the Latin American Social Workshop returns to the South American country. In this edition, students from across Latin America, alongside architects from Colombia, Ecuador, and Chile, are intervening in three areas in the coffee-growing city of Manizales: a rural settlement in the middle of the mountain range, a self-managed park, and the slopes of an informal pedestrian neighborhood.

Here, we invite you to explore the progress made by the architectural teams participating in the 18th Latin American Social Workshop (TSL XVIII) in Manizales.

In the midst of today's information age, several Latin American architecture firms are returning to analog formats, ranging from fanzines and illustrations to manuals and postcards.

Against the backdrop of the Taller Social Latinoamericano in Colombia, we spoke with the firms Ruta 4 Taller (Colombia), Coonvite (Colombia), La Cabina de la Curiosidad (Ecuador), and República Portátil (Chile)—all of whom have, coincidentally, explored these formats in their recent work.

For the third time since its founding in 2002, Colombia will host the Latin American Social Workshop for Architecture Students under the name 'Tejiendo Paisajes: TSL Manizales 2022'—the first edition of the event since the onset of the pandemic.

The National Architecture Award of Chile is presented by the Colegio de Arquitectos (Architects Association) to recognize "a lifetime dedicated to the service of architecture," according to the organization. First awarded in 1969, the inaugural recipient was Juan Martínez, architect of landmark projects such as the Law School at the University of Chile and the Votive Temple of Maipú.

In early 2015, the Regional Government of Santiago in Chile launched a public competition for the redevelopment of the Alameda-Providencia axis, an 11.3-kilometer-long avenue that serves as the most important mobility corridor in the Chilean capital.

The winning proposal was awarded in October of that same year to a team comprised of the firms Lyon Bosch, Martic Arquitectos, and Groundlab. Although construction was scheduled to begin two years later, in March 2019, the project was canceled by the administration at the time due to budget constraints. They announced that only a segment of the western end of the corridor would be renovated, though no progress has been reported since.

Three years later, on December 28, 2022, President Gabriel Boric, alongside local mayors and authorities, signed a public cooperation agreement to reactivate the recovery and transformation of the Alameda-Providencia axis in its original scope: from Pajaritos Street in the east to Plaza Baquedano, popularly known as Plaza Italia or Plaza Dignidad.

Following the social crisis in Chile, ArchDaily began a series of conversations with various urban and territorial specialists to understand its impact on our cities and the contribution of our discipline. On this occasion, we spoke with Chilean geographer Juan Correa, research coordinator at Fundación Vivienda and guest academic at the Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism of the University of Chile.

ArchDaily spoke with Spanish architect Flavio Tejada, director of the Master in Real Estate Development at IE University and associate director at Arup, about the ongoing urban transformation of our cities. "The digital economy is transforming our urban environment," he notes.
