ArpaFIL is a gathering focused on architecture, heritage, and the arts, held annually since 1995 as part of the Guadalajara International Book Fair (FIL). Since its inception, it has served as a forum where specialists and masters of architecture gather to promote, disseminate, share, and debate ideas with emerging professionals and the general public.
The new issue of Materia Arquitectura magazine, an editorial project by the Faculty of Architecture, Art, and Design at Universidad San Sebastián directed by Mario Marchant, centers on one of architecture's fundamental subjects: theory. This issue invites readers to reflect on the role of theory, arguing that architectural magazines are the space where it is put to the test.
These courses cover a wide range of topics—such as dance, gender, diagrams, sustainability, history, and geoprocessing—all of which are articulated through the lens of architecture and the city. Registration is open until August 10.

He completed his professional studies in Architecture (ITESM, 1996). A self-taught photographer with a deep admiration for architecture, he founded "Idea Cúbica" in 1996, a firm specializing in architectural photography and advertising for architects, which he currently directs.
In 2007, he pursued a master’s degree in "Architectural Photography in the Digital Era" at The Workshops in Rockport, Maine, taught by Norman McGrath. He was selected for the "Contemporary Photography Program" (PFC '11) in Monterrey, organized by the Centro de la Imagen / CONARTE.
His work has been featured in specialized architecture and photography magazines and books, including Architectural Record, Wired, Celeste, Ojo de Pez, Arquitectura Viva, Interior Design, H.O.ME., Arquine, DOC Photo Magazine, and Enlace, among others, as well as on news outlets such as the BBC, Univision, and El Universal.
His project "Alta Densidad" has been exhibited in several countries, including Mexico, Spain, Brazil, and Germany, at events such as PhotoEspaña, the X São Paulo Architecture Biennale, and the Triennial of Photography in Hamburg.
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.
