The extraordinarily accelerated growth of cities in Latin America, where there are 15 metropolises with more than 4 million inhabitants, and the very rapid occupation of large tracts of virgin territory with new infrastructures are completely transforming the landscape of large areas of the continent. Architects have the capacity and knowledge to collaborate in the design of these processes.
At the other extreme, architecture has extraordinarily fertile ground in small scale and limited budgets. As a number of projects awarded prizes at the BIAU demonstrate, the modest is also an area that is gradually being occupied with increasing intelligence by architects. The huge territory available between the construction of infrastructures and cities and that of small-scale interventions is where architects have everything to do.
We have an obligation to energetically reclaim our voice and our talents with the ambition to influence, perhaps lead or at least participate in both the big challenges and the small opportunities before us. Some examples of extraordinary, useful, beautiful architecture that are collected in this issue demonstrate the plastic, poetic and technical capacity that architecture can bring to collective life.
