INTERNATIONAL COMPETITION
GALAPAGOS – 0 LATITUDE:
Sustainable Urbanism and Architecture
The XV Quito Pan-American Architecture Biennale invites you to
participate in the International Competition “Galapagos – 0 Latitude:
Sustainable Urbanism and Architecture.” Its purpose is to lend
visibility to human settlement issues on the Galapagos Islands and
provide a place to reflect on alternatives for future sustainable towns.
Competition Components
Proposal for sustainable urban interventions (built and natural
surroundings), aimed at transforming existing conditions into an
“achievable utopia.”
A habitable prototype that is sensitive to its fragile natural context,
with appropriate construction technologies and systems.
Contestants may choose to participate in one or both components with
separate entries. Both components have professional and student
categories. We recommend forming multi-disciplinary teams (architects,
ecologists, engineers, urban planners, biologists, sociologists, etc.)
to ensure that proposals contemplate the broadest possible array of
viewpoints.
