In an increasingly competitive market, companies are in a constant struggle to capture the Top of Mind of the consumer. To achieve this, innovation and identity emerge as essential tools.
Against this backdrop, branding has seen progressive global growth, though it remains in the early stages of development locally, often failing to fully engage with the multidisciplinary field it encompasses. Similarly, design thinking has established itself as a highly valued alternative across various disciplines, offering an effective way to integrate innovation into the development of projects requiring a high degree of creative iteration.
The conversation with Laurent Beaudouin, architect and professor at the École d’Architecture de Paris Val de Seine, and Francis Rambert, architect and director of the Cité de L’Architecture et du Patrimoine in Paris, will take place next Wednesday, July 11, at 6:30 PM. Admission is free.
The International Sustainable Irrigation Expo, S.C. (EIRSMX), is a privately funded company that has successfully brought together over eighty leading national and international manufacturers of high-tech irrigation systems. The event is positioned as the largest of its kind in Latin America, given its success in attracting leading manufacturers of irrigation technologies and complementary products, with confirmed participation from over 17 countries.
The primary objective of EIRSMX 2018 is to showcase technologies and services that optimize water resource management to promote and maintain sustainable production processes within the country.
This event will be the first of its kind in the country and the largest in Latin America. It is aimed at leading global and national brands, producers, manufacturers, distributors, importers, and national and international exporters with technologies related or compatible with irrigation systems who wish to promote, position, or refresh their brand in the global market, as well as introduce new products and services that emphasize the importance of water conservation and environmental sustainability across the commercial, residential, agricultural, golf, institutional, and government/municipal sectors. It is worth noting that the International Sustainable Irrigation Expo will be inaugurated and presided over by all three levels of government: Federal (SAGARPA), State Government, the State Secretariat for Sustainable Development, and the municipalities of Querétaro. We are encouraging the participation of visitors including international and national institutions, commercial entities, importers, exporters, government agencies, hotels, universities, various associations, livestock farmers, agricultural producers, installers, architects, landscape architects, engineers, designers, students, and the general public.
Additionally, the event will feature a series of conferences, workshops, and tours of irrigation sites, where exhibiting companies can promote and showcase their new products or services, the technology behind their development, and their contributions to environmental sustainability.
This Saturday, December 15, marks the launch of the first edition of Envolvente magazine, a publication dedicated to promoting and recognizing local architecture by fostering critical discourse and opinion on relevant topics in architecture, design, and urbanism. Envolvente creates a space for critical reading, as we believe that architecture is defined not only by its imagery but also by its underlying argument.
