NewArch Competitions new competition will take place in one of the most important, iconic, and memorial sites in Panama, the old city of “Panama La Vieja” which was the first European settlement on the Pacific coast in America. It is a beautiful place that is embellished with its view of the sea, accompanied by mangroves that slow the flow of water and birds that probe the imposing ruins that tell the story of the city’s past. With this competition, NewArch Competitions want to remember and value what it was, what it is, and what it always will be.

About the Challenge:

Beyond the permanent, there’s ephemeral architecture: the creation of architecture in a transitory form, which is present for a short time.

In the Art Temporary Installation Competition (ATIC), the challenge is to design a temporary installation dedicated to art within the archaeological site of Panama La Vieja. The competition involves the question of how to create a temporary architecture that coexists and relates to the existing ruins while respecting their identity and historic value.
