The lecture offers an overview of the most significant works by the firm MOARQS, focusing on the concepts that inform its practice and its engagement with both the professional and academic worlds. The firm’s practice is rooted in a constructive approach that fosters an architecture free of preconceptions—one that emerges from the arrangement of specific materials in a particular order, combined with "art" to achieve an intense poetics through an economy of resources.

The event aims to elucidate the design processes employed by notable Latin American architects, with the goal of introducing students and faculty to the pedagogy of architectural design. Each invited architect will explain their approach to practice, focusing not only on creative processes but also on collaboration with their partners, through the presentation of a select number of projects. The event will feature two 20-minute lectures by Latin American architects, followed by a 30-minute panel discussion.
