Camino Intangible

The city of Puebla—located in the central highlands of Mexico—is particularly well-known for its street layout and predominantly Baroque architecture. A UNESCO World Heritage site since 1987, the city hosts a broad cultural dynamic centered on the preservation of its built heritage and its appreciation from a distance, as if it were a museum piece. Consequently, in our daily commutes, we notice the monumentality of its facades, often overlooking the fact that behind the large wooden doors lies what we have called "the heart of the Poblano house."

From December 3 to January 13, Servidor Local (Progreso 24, Escandón) presents Cenários, an exhibition by artists Bariza Benmehenni, Sofía Martínez, and Yatini Domínguez. These artists work with the materiality of paper and clay, creating small utopian/dystopian scenarios to construct an imaginary that transcends two-dimensionality.

This book analyzes the origin, development, and dismantling of the Lima Planning Institute (IPL) at the National University of Engineering (UNI), which served as the headquarters for Project 205 of the Inter-American Program for Urban and Regional Planning (PIAPUR).

The book highlights the Institute's significance within both the national and Latin American contexts regarding professional training in urban and regional planning, while considering the influence of the various schools of thought and the political and social movements of the era. It was the first postgraduate program of its kind in the country and the first in its specialty in Latin America.

Nariño is undoubtedly the gateway from the Andean universe to the rest of Colombia; it is here that the Inca Trail—Qhapac Ñan—begins, which connected these territories to the Inca Empire or Tahuantinsuyo. Through the mountain junction known as the "Nudo de los Pastos," trade, arts, culinary traditions, customs, and ultimately all the elements that nourish the country's rich multicultural variety have permeated the region. Today, the Pan-American Highway serves as the immediate mobility link for thousands of people traveling to and from South America, carrying their productive, emotional, or recreational interests across a territory clearly integrated by a shared landscape in all its dimensions. The city of Pasto is a fascinating and essential stop along this route.

Today more than ever, finding the right alternatives to promote sustainability is essential. Current and future architectural trends are increasingly global, ecological, and inclusive. Developing buildings based on sustainable practices is one of the key challenges for the architects of tomorrow to reduce conventional energy demand, mitigate environmental impact, and preserve the quality of life of their occupants. 

Sustainable building goes beyond the proper use of materials and strategies to construct a green property. It is about fostering the well-being of its occupants while reducing the environmental footprint of their daily activities within the space.
