Following the confirmation that the Architecture and Urbanism Biennial will return to Santiago after two editions in Valparaíso, the countdown has begun for the close of the call for applications to select the next curator and their team, who will define the conceptual and curatorial framework for the upcoming edition of the event.

While the 2017 edition, "Diálogos impostergables" (Unpostponable Dialogues), addressed national issues that the discipline needed to confront beyond design itself, for the upcoming edition, the Colegio de Arquitectos de Chile is seeking a curatorial team to address the processes of urban renewal, heritage conservation, and densification currently shaping Chilean cities. In this context, the XXI Biennial will be held in Santiago's Barrio Biobío, a historic commercial district in the Chilean capital currently undergoing simultaneous processes of conservation, gentrification, and real estate speculation.

This month, we continue to celebrate the 6th anniversary of ArchDaily in Mexico, an achievement made possible by the hard work of our team, as well as the relationship we have built over the years with the local architectural community and our readers.

With that in mind, we decided to celebrate this year with a competition that engages our community. We want to see your favorite works in Mexico—whether classic or contemporary—and what better platform than Instagram to view them through your eyes?

The Bethel Woods Art and Architecture Festival returns to the historic site of Woodstock in 2026 to inaugurate a three-year curatorial initiative titled Acts of Construction. The first installment, Act One: Staging, focuses on the construction of large-scale architectural prototypes that prioritize adaptivity: the capacity of architecture to operate as both infrastructure and catalyst for future uses, performances, and occupations. The subsequent editions in 2027 and 2028 will concentrate on the reuse, transformation, and activation of the structures produced in 2026.

As the world grows in complexity, multiplying both its challenges and opportunities for innovation, so does the architecture profession.

They are developing new materials, reassessing urban policies, and responding directly to society's most pressing needs.
