UIA Work Programme

La UIA es el único organismo mundial de arquitectos, organizado para promover la arquitectura y los intereses de la profesión, la UIA formula políticas y posiciones que tienen el peso de un acuerdo internacional.

El trabajo de la UIA apoya y fortalece los problemas que enfrentan las Secciones Miembros de la UIA a nivel local y ayuda a influir en los organismos mundiales en cuestiones que afectan el interés público y la arquitectura.

Todos los Programas de Trabajo de la UIA deben apoyar los objetivos básicos descritos anteriormente, abordando cuestiones de importancia crítica para la sociedad y la profesión, a escala global, y de una manera que sólo la UIA como institución global puede lograr.

De la misma manera que la FCARM, la UIA tiene sus comisiones y programas de trabajo como Arquitectura para Todos es la contraparte de nuestra Comisión de Accesibilidad Universal, o el programa Patrimonio e Identidad Cultural es la contraparte de Nuestra Comisión de Patrimonio Arquitectónico.

Nos complace informar que la Secretaría General de la UIA ha designado a los siguientes arquitectos mexicanos para ser parte de los Programas de Trabajo de la UIA.

UIA Social Habitat Work Programme

Que hacemos
La desigualdad social es cada vez más visible, especialmente en el entorno urbano, donde viven muy cerca personas de diversos estratos sociales. Se ha demostrado que el aumento de la desigualdad social en las zonas urbanas tiene una correlación directa con la falta de vivienda, el desempleo, la privación social y los problemas de salud. El Programa Hábitat Social de la UIA trabaja para investigar estos problemas desde el punto de vista arquitectónico y comenzar a implementar acciones sociales positivas dentro de la comunidad arquitectónica.
