PhD Student Marco Salazar Valle’s paper “Undeclared Colonial Types on Modern Ecuadorian Architecture” is part prize winning publication DeArq 36

DeArq issues 34, 35 and 36 (published in 2023) won the first prize for publications at the 2024 Bienal Panamericana de Arquitectura de Quito.

"Shuffling the Canon” was the editorial theme of Dearq 36, proposed by Fernando Lara (Weitzman Faculty), Quintana  and Martinez-Nespral that aimed to change the lenses used to understand architecture and shape the discipline's history while revising the disciplinary canon. This is comparable to the process undertaken at the start of a card game when cards are shuffled and distributed again. This issue of Dearq points to this subversive action illustrated by the shuffling metaphor.
