The theme of this year’s Congress was ‘Arquitectura con Identidad’. El-Khoury presented RAD Lab’s Smart City work in a keynote address while Cure and Mader presented their ongoing mapping of informal cities in Latin America, along with architectural projects for infrastructure and the public realm.
U-SoA’s participation in Colombia’s national architectural forum is a first and part of strategic efforts to enhance presence and opportunities for collaboration in Latin America.
