The competition calls for entries that have a strong focus on creating sustainable and environmentally viable prototype that is sensitive to the candidate’s own heritage & culture and geography.
Entries will be judged based on the solution proposed and how sensitively the issue has been addressed.

“The Ravages of War: My Heartfelt Account” is the new book by architect Marta Miret Rodríguez. It is an account written with the emotions stirred by the war in Ukraine—a country she knows well. Through her professional work as an architect, she lived there and experienced a profound humanistic and architectural connection. This experience enabled her to put her feelings into words, conveying the impact of this harrowing war and what it has awakened within her.

This book compiles reflections from four academics from various national universities on the city, urbanism, public space, mobility, and transportation. It is the product of "Conversations by the Wayside," a series of interviews developed by Corporación Pedaleable in collaboration with Ediciones de Arquitectura in response to the global COVID-19 pandemic. Currently, literature on sustainable mobility and urban planning from everyday, interdisciplinary perspectives remains scarce and under-disseminated. This is what motivated us to reach out to various stakeholders in academia, public policy, and urban practice to discuss and exchange ideas regarding the issues surrounding these concepts.

The theme for this year's 15th Architecture Congress is Bioarchitecture: "A Natural Approach." This event is organized by students from the Faculty of Architecture who aim to promote knowledge of the architecture being produced both locally and globally.
Bioarchitecture focuses on creating healthy spaces using materials that do not harm the environment and can be integrated into the natural context. This approach requires a balance between construction, the natural environment, and society, while fostering an awareness that architecture must be grounded in natural principles.
You are cordially invited!

Beyond the rhetoric of the green and contemporary exploitation, the landscape is - in itself - an element of conflict. It is an alterity both considering the inhabited world and to the world of design. It questions new codes, aesthetics, tools, and vocabularies. It is therefore a probability. But the landscape is also otherness with respect to the inhabited world, it is a project that clarifies, reveals everything that instead the design world wants to mask, conceal, embellish, pacify. With this in mind, Seeds questions the original and primary meanings of the landscape and of our way of inhabiting the Earth: it investigates the landscape as a detector of the world’s asymmetries and, at the same time, as design alterity.
