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.
As part of the Final Degree Workshops at the EAAD of ITESM Campus Guadalajara, the results of the first Adpprentice AADP Workshop will be presented on Wednesday, September 30, at 5:00 PM (CDMX). The workshop aims to connect recent architecture graduates with renowned architectural firms, where participants can refine their design skills by interacting with the firm's principals in a learning environment based on the mentor-apprentice model. Renowned architect Julio Gaeta will provide commentary on the project "Reconversion of the Salcido Marble Cement Plant into a Regional Environmental Center." This marks the first public presentation of the project, which will be exhibited at the Palazzo Bembo in Venice as part of the collateral events of the Architecture Biennale taking place in May 2021. We would like to publicly thank Tec de Monterrey for providing the space and architect Julio Gaeta for his time in joining us for this significant event for Adpprentice.
