KeObra invites you to the first roundtable discussion, "The Role of the Architect in Self-Construction or Self-Production of Housing," which stems from the preparation for the 1st KeObra University Competition: Design a Progressive Social Housing Project. https://keobra.com/concurso-universitario-keobra The panels will be composed of members of the competition jury. In this first session, we will discuss self-construction, the importance of professional architectural guidance, the role of the architect, lessons in participatory architecture, and the mutual growth of both the self-builder and the architect.

This presentation seeks to facilitate a conversation about the role of landscape architecture in our urban environment. The education and practice of the landscape architect are multidisciplinary by nature; we are designers, but at times we must act as facilitators, advocates, ecologists, economists, scientists, and engineers. Through a couple of my projects, I will narrate my professional trajectory, which has helped me change my perception of our work as multidisciplinary designers. This has also allowed me to witness how our communities have changed over the last few decades, learning to appreciate their environment in a more comprehensive way, and—more importantly—the social work and responsibility we each have to contribute to the maintenance and improvement of our cities.

During the design month held every October in Mexico City, Coolhuntermx, curated by Taina Campos and Andrea Soler, proposes a space to amplify the voices of women designers, architects, and all creatives. Although they are gradually reclaiming and occupying a place on the country's design exhibition platforms, there is still a long way to go to make our disciplines an equal and fair terrain for developing our practices.
Through this congress, we aim to promote knowledge about the connection between cognitive sciences, neuroscience, architecture, and design, offering a broad overview of scientific, theoretical, and philosophical knowledge that integrates diverse perspectives for the practice of design and architecture with a humanistic approach.
Session 274. "Landscape Through" Gabriel Díaz Montemayor This presentation begins with an interpretation of the built environment in Mexico and Latin America as a process and practice that emerges from the city and the landscape, which are culturally understood as a dichotomy. The "Landscape Through" approach invites us to consider the built environment as a network of embedded scales and systems, creating a diversity of thresholds, interstices, and ecotones that impact, support, and evolve alongside one another, suggesting their dissolution. There is no such thing as an intact, pristine natural environment, nor is there a complete, determined urban environment. This argument is presented as a reflection aimed at fostering a more socially and environmentally just habitat, one that is implementable for the transformation and regeneration of our cities. The presentation is structured around a theoretical framework and a variety of projects developed through applied academic research, design workshops as service initiatives, and professional projects.

This lecture is designed for architects, landscape architects, urban planners, and climate activists. It focuses specifically on the public urban landscape and the importance of making cities "climate-ready." With over 40 years of experience, Martha Schwartz and her firm have completed projects worldwide, ranging from site-specific art installations to public spaces, parks, master planning, and land reclamation. Schwartz is now dedicated to strategic landscape planning and land use, helping leaders prepare for the climate change impacts their cities will face in the near future. This is undoubtedly a lecture you won't want to miss.
