It is necessary to expand theoretical development regarding housing in our country to update the ideas proposed by the Modern Movement in architecture over a century ago. This will allow for the discovery of solutions aligned with current demand, moving beyond the obvious responses of our time to help shift public policy, which currently focuses primarily on quantitative metrics while overlooking significant qualitative aspects.

The goal of this competition is to foster research and the development of academic content in the form of essays. These submissions should provide a historical account and analyze the urban and architectural evolution of the city from its founding to the present day, framed within the various categories established for this competition.

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.

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.
