Organized by the Colegio de Arquitectos Provincia de Buenos Aires (CAPBA D5), this national competition seeks proposals for the "Plaza de las Carretas" in Campana, Buenos Aires.
The initiative aims for the Plaza de las Carretas to function as a unifying space that provides connections to the surrounding axes, while also establishing itself as a true "public activity center" for continuous use in its own right.
The objective of this competition is to design a facade of variable thickness for a site in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires. The project must address the facade's relationship with both interior and exterior spaces, its materiality, the connection between architecture and the urban environment, its habitability in relation to its uses, orientation, and environmental integration, as well as any other elements proposed by the participants.

The proposal for the International Lato Sensu Specialization Course in URBAN PLANNING AND PUBLIC POLICY: URBANISM, LANDSCAPE, TERRITORY is structured as a research itinerary with a dual objective. First, it aims to create a think tank on contemporary urbanism as an interdisciplinary activity that encompasses urban and territorial policies, moving beyond the rigid dichotomy between planning and design. Second, by establishing relationships with the environment through research, reflection, and action, the course aims to link academic investigation with diverse public policies, based on the production of scientific knowledge systematized in a database that serves as support for Territorial and Urban Planning.
The grupoDEArquitetura—or the group's warehouse, as we call it—is launching its "Open School at the Warehouse" project this month.
The project stems from a desire to share and build critical thinking regarding architecture, urbanism, the arts, cinema, geography, and other fields that play a fundamental role in how we inhabit and transform urban life.
Connection is what drives us; the construction of thought is what sustains us.
Focused on the exchange of experiences, critical reflection, and continuous learning, the "Open School at the Warehouse" project will bring lectures, seminars, workshops, and debates to Presidente Prudente. Featuring prominent figures who will contribute to the public's critical development in diverse ways, the project thereby fulfills the social function of the warehouse, architecture, and its related fields.
