Journal
The journal dimension of ARCH CHALLENGE documents ideas, places, landscapes and architectural questions connected to Cape Verde and the competition itself.
Editorial Themes
Site stories, climate logic, AI and architecture, territorial futures and competition updates all belong to the same cultural frame.
