As part of the activities for Design Week Mexico 2020, the annual edition of Design House opened its doors on October 7th, offering an experience of creative spaces featuring style and trends in architecture, landscape design, design, and interior design, breathing new life into a residential building to transform it into the masterpiece of the year.
Design House, a collective intervention project by architecture, landscape, design, and interior design professionals, is partnering with Público Coworking to create a series of creative rooms within its newest location in Lomas de Chapultepec. The event will feature more than 40 spaces where architects, designers, landscape architects, and design and interior brands will offer their work for sale, aiming to support commerce and the local economy within our creative industries, which have been significantly impacted by the reality of COVID-19.
The College of Architects of Mexico City and the Society of Architects of Mexico invite you to their 7th International Congress, "Synchronizing Architecture," which will take place on October 1, 2020—Architects' Day—in a digital format from 9:00 AM to 8:30 PM. For this edition, the CAM-SAM is organizing the congress with the support of the International Union of Architects (UIA) and the American Institute of Architects (AIA), under the general coordination of architects Arturo and Jorge Arditti of Arditti + RDT Arquitectos. Architecture possesses an inherent, intrinsic energy capable of triggering events and deeply impacting social responses, which distinguishes it from other creative expressions. At this seventh CAM-SAM Architecture Congress, we seek to find the right balance in architecture between new adaptability in living, functionality, spatial sensitivity, and defying gravity, ensuring that spaces transcend and age with dignity. We will witness a congress where leading national and international architects present their cutting-edge projects with ecological and technological sensitivity, adapting to this new reality.

To what extent can the design and management of cities shape the lives of their inhabitants? This is the question we aim to answer through our first Conscious Monterrey Festival. With the participation of our guests, Monterrey will share efforts already underway, as well as ideas regarding urban matters. From the conservation and identity of built heritage to new policies and visions for the city of the future, we will cover citizen participation, the use of technology, and art with a social perspective.
