This exhibition invites architects, urban planners, designers, and multidisciplinary creative teams to submit proposals focused on improving the environment and quality of life in our capital. Participation in the exhibition is open via a public call for project submissions or by direct invitation from the curatorial committee. Proposals may consist of unrealizable utopian concepts that are purely fictional, or feasible solutions to concrete challenges with real-world application potential. The projects' narrative covers a wide range of themes, including housing, public space, mobility, the environment, heritage preservation, neighborhood revitalization, and urban infrastructure. They address the architect's mission beyond merely building objects, instead integrating a responsibility toward a sustainable environment that builds better communities, based on the principle that good design is holistic.
