The AIA LATAM + ANÁHUAC 2026 Congress concludes with our deepest gratitude to everyone who was part of this edition.
Over the course of three days, architecture became a space for connection, reflection, and international collaboration. Professionals, academics, students, and companies came together to engage in dialogue on the contemporary challenges of the discipline, with a special focus on water, the oceans, and their relationship with the built environment.
This congress not only represented a platform for knowledge, but also an opportunity to strengthen relationships, spark new conversations, and consolidate an active community within the field.
We sincerely thank you for your trust and participation in this collective effort. We look forward to welcoming you at our next edition.
The AIA LATAM Congress is an international platform that promotes the exchange of ideas, experiences, and perspectives within the field of architecture.
In its 2026 edition, held at Universidad Anáhuac, the congress brought together 12 distinguished architects and industry leaders from France, Chile, London, New York, Mérida, and Mexico City, generating a global dialogue around contemporary practice.
