Call For Entries
The XV Quito Pan-American Architecture Biennale invites all 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. The contest is open to students and professionals from the international A&D community. The deadline for submissions is November 1, 2006.
The competition has two components, as follows: Proposal for sustainable urban interventions (built and natural surroundings), aimed at transforming existing conditions into an "achievable utopia." And, 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.
