AsBEA, AIA Miami, and AIA International launch an initiative to foster international cooperation among architects.

The Félix Candela Award is an international, two-phase architecture ideas competition conducted in Spanish. It is organized annually by the Spanish Institute of Architecture (IESARQ) and is open to students of architecture, landscape architecture, urbanism, and design, as well as young architects, landscape architects, urbanists, and designers, participating either individually or in teams of two to three members.

MENTES was founded in 2020 with the mission of fostering a sense of community and expanding interpersonal relationships under the direction of Mexican architect Lorenza Sierra. Its philosophy is centered on the idea that every mind is a world of its own, and that world deserves to be shared. The project seeks to develop critical thinking by sparking curiosity in its audience and raising awareness of tools that inform decision-making and new experiences, without being limited by conventional ideals.

Camino Intangible

The Colombian Biennial of Architecture Students is a competition established by the Colombian Society of Architects that seeks to highlight and promote the professional practice of architecture by showcasing the best projects from students across the country's various architecture schools.

Puerta de Oro: Empresa de Desarrollo Caribe and the Colombian Society of Architects invite you to participate in the effort to green the city through the "Design Challenge: Greening the City of Barranquilla" competition.

The Colombian Society of Architects (SCA), aiming to strengthen the promotion of sustainable architecture in Colombia and with the mission of consolidating this effort through concrete incentives, is calling for project submissions for the "2nd Award for Excellence in Sustainable Architecture – Vidrio Andino."

In line with the commitment to territorial development in the Atlántico Department, the TECNOGLASS group—a national and international leader in the processing and commercialization of high-quality glass, windows, and facades—has decided to expand its reach in promoting city landmarks through a public art competition. The competition calls for the construction of two monuments aimed at reclaiming spaces in the municipalities of Puerto Colombia and Repelón, in the Atlántico Department. This initiative seeks to contribute to economic reactivation, tourism revitalization, and the strengthening of the inhabitants' sense of belonging.

It is necessary to expand theoretical development regarding housing in our country to update the ideas proposed by the Modern Movement in architecture over a century ago. This will allow for the discovery of solutions aligned with current demand, moving beyond the obvious responses of our time to help shift public policy, which currently focuses primarily on quantitative metrics while overlooking significant qualitative aspects.

Building culture through architecture is one of the driving forces behind the MEXTRÓPOLI Architecture and City Festival. To this end, a series of books will be presented during the festival, offering citizens, architecture and urban planning students, and those interested in reflecting on how cities are built and the future of contemporary architecture an opportunity to engage with these topics. Here is the schedule of presentations:

IMAGINING THE LANDSCAPE

Pensarq_ invites you to the lecture:

ArchDaily visits the Department of Architecture and Design at the Universidad de la Costa in person.

The goal of this competition is to foster research and the development of academic content in the form of essays. These submissions should provide a historical account and analyze the urban and architectural evolution of the city from its founding to the present day, framed within the various categories established for this competition.

Throughout its history, the Taller Max Cetto has been defined by its reflection on and development of architectural and artistic thought. The Taller hosts various activities, including the "Conversaciones en el Cetto" program, which features lectures by prominent professionals.

Following the warm reception of the first "The Value of Design" forum last year, the IBERO Design Department is once again presenting its second edition on October 26 and 27, 2022. Design is a discipline that significantly contributes to creating healthier, safer, and happier environments for people through products, services, and experiences that foster social well-being.

Given the reality of climate change and the role that architecture and construction play in this arena, finding new ways to build sustainably is imperative. That is why accelerating the transition toward a zero-emissions future will only be possible through net-zero construction. The Holcim team has developed a range of solutions to achieve this goal, such as the one implemented in the Torre Moranta project in Mexico.
