Arquisur awards
Research Award
The works submitted to the ARQUISUR Research Award are those that derive from knowledge production processes, handled by teachers and/or students of the Faculties or Schools of Architecture of ARQUISUR as part of their academic activity, regardless of their source of financing, whether existed.
The main goals of the research programs in the Faculties of Architecture are:
- The development of disciplinary knowledge, knowledge regarding the reality of the territory, the cities and architecture, in its physical, technological, cultural, social dimensions and its management methods and alternatives for improvement.
- Research in the field of Architecture and Urban Planning as a process of creating new knowledge or organizing and updating existing knowledge for its application in a physical device, a methodology, an approach, a structure or a process intended to satisfy needs of the community.
The distinctions are:
Category A Research Award: contains works produced by researchers in training, carried out individually or in groups, by undergraduate students, teachers or graduates with no more than 5 years since graduating at the time of submitting their work to ARQUISUR Award.
Category B Research Award: collects works produced individually or in groups by researchers trained with recognized directors in formal systems. In this category, postgraduate theses that have not been published may be accepted.
Extension Award
In 2005, the Association created the ARQUISUR Extension Award aiming to distinguish the development of relevant projects carried out in the member Faculties and Schools. The contest rewards the development of Extension Projects –whether they are in progress or executed-, whose impact can be verified, carried out by disciplinary and interdisciplinary teams made up of students, teachers and/or graduates, in order to allow the integration, articulation and strengthening of the different disciplinary areas of the Universities and developing various transferences to society of the scientific, technological and cultural knowledge, as a feedback system for academic activity.
For the purposes of framing the proposals, Extension has been defined as that intrinsic activity of the University that aims to develop, strengthen and systematize its link with the environment from an academic point of view.
The distinctions are:
Category A Extension Award: contains works that are related to the community and are developed within the framework of Curricular Activities during a specific academic period of time (month-s, quarter-s, four-months period-s, etc.)
Category B Extension Award: includes projects approved within the framework of the call of national organizations (universities, faculties or schools, etc.) whether subsidized or not.
Category C Extension Award: includes projects that involve assistance and/or technological transfer to the socio-productive environment.
