The goal of the competition is to design a one- or two-story prototype that acts as a sculptural element within its environment.

The sixth edition of the Félix Candela Award is a dream of the city. After several editions spent traversing the countryside in search of truth, this edition focuses on the quintessential social construct of architecture: the city. The city is the built form of human relationships and, as such, represents us as a society. The question is whether our current city is also our will. Between the Captive and the Warrior, we choose to be both, in that oscillation that Spanish architect Francisco Javier Sáenz de Oíza spoke of—from the city to the countryside, and now from the countryside back to the city. We return from the field with at least the tools of the woodsman, the hunter, the farmer, the gardener, or the shepherd, ready to insert what we have learned into the robust trunk of our cities.

Taking a step toward improving the quality of public space, the city of Barcelona, which will serve as the World Capital of Architecture in 2026, has launched a new International Ideas Competition for Young Architects. The initiative aims to transform 10 permanent blind walls—one in each district—into new facades. Organized by the Barcelona City Council and the Fundació Mies van der Rohe, in partnership with UNESCO and the International Union of Architects (UIA), the competition seeks architectural proposals that provide meaning to walls that are currently anonymous and unremarkable, exposed in public spaces in a state of permanent temporariness.

The Anthropocene, artificial intelligence, climate change, migration crises... The world as we knew it is being reformulated through algorithms that group, optimize, and rethink our daily lives, from the public sphere to the domestic realm. Windowless houses for maximum privacy in insecure contexts; temples without cults housing skateparks or trendy nightclubs; parks without children featuring areas for pets of all sizes; or architectures without architects visualized from text interpreted by Big Data with unexpected results—these are just a few examples of our new environments, where the priority seems to be the act of reducing to reimagine.

This annual competition, organized since 1986 by World Habitat in partnership with UN-Habitat, recognizes responses to global challenges in the field of housing and habitat.

The housing deficit in Peru currently stands at 1.8 million, with 20.9% being quantitative and 79.1% qualitative. 70% of homes are built without the technical assistance of an architect or engineer. Do you want to be part of the change? The right to housing is the right to a dignified home: this is the shared goal of DNADD and Techo Perú—to redesign a new modular housing model capable of providing Lima's populations with basic necessities and a space worthy of being called a "home."
