The CAP Regional Lima extends an invitation to the activities scheduled for the 13th Anniversary of the Lima Regional chapter. We will celebrate the architecture of our city by touring iconic modernist buildings, interviewing renowned Peruvian architects about their careers, showcasing the vitality of the new generation of architects emerging in the Lima scene, and exploring the diversity and quality of work from future architects, who will present their undergraduate theses and final projects.
As part of the activities commemorating the 13th Anniversary of the Lima Regional Chapter, we invite you to join us for a presentation by two of the world’s most innovative architects: Solano Benítez from Paraguay and Rahul Mehrotra from India, marking the conclusion of the anniversary week.
The Leopoldo Rother Architecture Museum invites you to the virtual conference "Care Cities: Toward More Livable Streets and Neighborhoods," held as part of the first cycle: Architectural Lessons from a Distance, featuring speakers Maria Pia Fontana and Miguel Mayorga.
Registration is now open for the conversations hosted by COMUNS, a virtual laboratory for experimental and participatory architecture organized by Marcella Arruda and Marina Frúgoli in partnership with the Marieta cultural center in São Paulo, Brazil. The laboratory aims to foster the exchange of experiences and reflections on social, ecological, and political technologies for transforming Latin American territories. The initiatives invited to these conversations follow logics that promote collective, collaborative, and experimental work, anchored in the ethics of buen vivir (good living), the decolonization of knowledge, and the preservation of the common good.
PRIMA is an independent architecture publication focused on the discipline's means of representation.

God is in the Details
The projects by studio mk27 value formal simplicity and are crafted with extreme attention to detail and finishes. Using photographs and executive drawings of select projects, architect and director Diana Radomysler demonstrates the complexity and care required to achieve the aforementioned formal simplicity.
3 Ways of Living
Director and architect Suzana Glogowski will present three residential projects that differ in scale, location, and program, along with the solutions provided by studio mk27 for each.
The Latin American Virtual Meeting: Liquid Utopias will be held in a decentralized manner via digital platforms and channels between September 19 and November 7, 2020. From a multidisciplinary perspective, it will feature various activities organized into five weekly blocks, such as conferences, panels, discussions, PechaKuchas, workshops, and remote actions. These aim to problematize, reflect on, and conceive of alternative ideas and visions that allow for the construction of other worlds where all people and living beings can see themselves reflected.
Organized by Marco Artigas and Pedro Vada, this course aims to broaden the repertoire of contemporary architectural production by considering the urgent need for new, fundamentally counter-hegemonic perspectives.
Everything has changed, and offices will never be the same.
Reflecting on the importance of the residential home in today's context, this talk focuses on the most representative single-family housing projects developed by our firm. The discussion will cover our personal approach to these spaces, exploring the spatial narrative and the resources employed to interpret and adapt to the lives of their inhabitants.
The "Housing Dialogues" are conceived as biweekly conversations designed to explore specific topics related to habitat production and management in depth and in a relaxed setting. This space for exchange, formatted as an interview or debate, will allow for a freer exploration of concepts, where participants can break down positions, share specific experiences, and discuss not only the "whys" but also the "hows."
President Andrés Manuel López Obrador's plan to provide housing loans "directly, without intermediaries," and the implementation of programs such as Infonavit's ConstruYO, make it essential to focus our attention on models where inhabitants are actively involved in the production of their housing.
"Housing and Participation" will explore different ways in which communities participate in the design, construction, and management of their habitat in both rural and urban settings. It will reflect on the means available to each population, ranging from access to government and institutional support to the material and human resources required for construction.
The discussion will also address the role of architects providing technical assistance, as well as their level of responsibility in self-construction processes.
The "Isolated Dialogues" series from the Universidad Finis Terrae School of Architecture—held every Wednesday to address various topics from the perspective of isolation—will focus on "City, Sustainability, and Health" on September 2nd, within the context of the pandemic and the sustainable development that cities demand.
As we move further from the onset of the pandemic, the rhetoric surrounding such a circumstance begins to fade.
