At Urbanik Hub, a digital educational platform for architecture, engineering, and construction, we are presenting the Academic Architectural Design Competition. The challenge is to design a conceptual scheme for the "Science, Technology, and Innovation Center (CTeI)" in Medellín, Colombia. This center aims to become an epicenter for transforming Medellín's economic focus, serving as a platform for the creation of startups and technology-based companies, while simultaneously housing offices for global tech multinationals (e.g., Google, Facebook). It will function as a unique Smart Cities experimentation laboratory in Latin America, helping to manage the sustainable transition of our cities and territories.
Following the damning report published by the IPCC in mid-2021, the message is clear: there is no longer a way to reverse climate change. The notion that humanity would manage to get away with it—depleting and overexploiting the Earth without suffering the consequences—has proven to be mistaken. The model of development and growth that has governed us for at least two centuries must be rethought from its roots if we are to continue our life on this planet. Therefore, in 2022, we have no choice but to question our actions to date. With the goal of pushing thought toward undoing what we have been doing wrong, the three issues of ARQ magazine next year will be dedicated to different ways of rethinking our relationship with the environment: "Decolonize" (ARQ 110), "Degrow" (ARQ 111), and "Deconstruct" (ARQ 112).

Material Responsibility discusses issues of contemporary material fabrication in context to social, environmental, and construction related challenges. Researchers, designers, and builders assume the mantle of responsibility to address inherited legacies in everyday practices. This event tries to unravel not only assumptions about what and how we build, but also looks to question why, to situate our motivations and impact. In moving away from practices that simply justifies the present moment, the discussion on Material Responsibility aims to identify where our responsibilities lie in the complex global systems and networks that make up our contemporary practice.
