A Meeting of Generations that will go down in History
From design icons to young talents, architects from all over the world are invited to gather together with urban thinkers, researchers, students, builders, outreach movements, technology and innovation firms, multilateral and academic institutions, and political authorities, exchanging experiences related to the construction of living spaces for society.
