El día de ayer dimos a conocer la nota que arquiNETWORK se suma a la red de media partners para dar promoción y difusión al 13 Congreso Internacional de Arquitectura y Diseño Arquine por lo cual durante las próximas semanas estaremos publicando los perfiles de los conferencistas de este congreso. Como ya hemos comentado esta edición estará enfocado en reflexionar sobre los “Desplazamientos”, como la dinámica que fundamenta la acción y los escenarios de la actualidad, abordando temas como el cruce constante e intercambio de información transgrediendo los límites propios del oficio y de la localización, los cambios de posición, los flujos migratorios y la dislocación de las tradiciones. [Detalles, enlaces y proyectos después del salto]
