Open Call: "Figuras de la arquitectura" Asks Students to Rethink Architecture's Hidden Elements

An open call titled "Figuras de la arquitectura" was published on 19 October 2026, inviting students to look beyond finished buildings. The competition asks participants to examine the materials, assemblies and methods that make architecture possible but that frequently remain concealed, go unnoticed or are misread once construction is complete. Entrants are challenged to foreground these usually invisible "figures of architecture" and to reconsider their role through the lens of resilience and climate adaptation. The call frames architecture as something habitually understood through completed structures, and positions the overlooked components of building as the proper subject of student inquiry. An English-language version of the announcement is available. No deadline, jury, prize or organizing institution is specified in the source material.
