The KÖMMERLING Challenge is KÖMMERLING’s major initiative to contribute to a shift in the construction model, accommodating high-energy-efficiency projects with a viable construction budget by integrating the most efficient and innovative construction techniques. The starting point for this challenge was the unique ‘Edificio Zero KÖMMERLING Architecture Competition,’ held in 2017, which serves as the basis for the brand’s new offices in Spain. The vision of the KÖMMERLING Challenge is built on several pillars: the training of architects; the use of new methodologies that consider not only construction solutions but also processes and workflows; and placing special emphasis on project certification and its various phases.

The IAB-MG Urban Kindness Award was conceived, developed, and launched by the Minas Gerais Department of the Institute of Architects of Brazil 24 years ago, in 1993. Since then, its objective has been to encourage diverse initiatives from both individuals and legal entities that contribute to improving the quality of urban life. The core idea is to reward and value the small acts and attitudes of citizens that help make city life better every day. Urban Kindness refers to attitudes, gestures, and interventions that foster a new perspective on the city, promoting the preservation of its cultural and natural heritage and expanding the concept of citizenship.

Sidewalks, also known as public walkways, can be understood as multifunctional open spaces where a range of activities occur, from pedestrian flow to social interaction.
From this perspective, public walkways have great potential to host green infrastructure solutions—such as rain gardens, bioswales, and stormwater planters—capable of providing a series of environmental services for cities. These include mitigating urban pollution (water, air, and soil), providing habitats for urban fauna, contributing to the control of stormwater runoff volume and velocity, and improving local microclimatic quality and thermal comfort for adjacent buildings through shading and evapotranspiration, in addition to serving as an aesthetic element.
Currently, emerging ecological sidewalk design techniques that add value and attractiveness to properties are well-known, utilized, and proven.

The launch of the book ART-quitectura will take place on November 20th. This is the 14th work by architect Luis Alonso, founding partner of the firm Alonso, Balaguer y Arquitectos Asociados—one of the most international and prolific Spanish architecture firms today—in which he showcases 10 of his projects developed across different countries.

We invite you to join us for the new edition of the Chile Arte Contemporáneo (Ch.ACO) fair, one of the most significant events in the country and South America, which is celebrating its tenth anniversary this year.
The event will take place from November 23 to 26 in Vitacura, at the Parque Arboleda Lo Curro project by Inmobiliaria Paz, a building designed by the renowned architecture firm Izquierdo Lehman.
More than 6,000 square meters will host works from over 60 exhibitors representing 15 countries, including galleries from Chile, Argentina, Peru, Colombia, Mexico, Ecuador, France, Spain, Germany, the United Kingdom, the United States, and China. As in the last two years, the fair will be divided into four sections, three of which (Focus, Planta, and Nave de Ediciones) will be curated. Together, these sections will feature works by more than 300 national and international artists.
Furthermore, the initiative will feature various talks organized by the Fava Foundation and Paz Corp, designed to serve as a platform for visibility and interaction for the artists participating in the tenth edition of the Ch.ACO Fair, as well as to provide an introduction to public art and architecture. A highlight is the presentation by National Prize winner Luis Izquierdo, the architect of the project hosting the fair, which is scheduled for Saturday the 24th at 4:00 PM.
Parque Arboleda Lo Curro, the center of the exhibition, is a modern and avant-garde project built on thick pillars that rise across four hectares of green space. The placement of the buildings was specifically designed to house a large central park, developed by the prominent landscape architect Juan Grimm—a space that inspires and gives its name to this project.
