SUMMARY

Since 2018 Universidad Da Vinci has been celebrating this festival. This year the main theme is City as a creative canvas. It is a tribute to innovation, imagination and synergy between disciplines. We will explore how our Schools of Architecture, Graphic Design and Creative Arts and Industries converge to shape urban environments as living works of art. It will be a shared journey towards the reinvention of urban environments and the exploration of new aesthetic frontiers.

Celebrating interdisciplinary collaboration between architects, graphic designers and creative artists. From redefining urban landscapes to incorporating visual elements that connect communities, we'll dive into the intersection of aesthetics and function. Our students and teachers, coming from various disciplines, will work together to explore how cities can become spaces of inspiration, innovation, cultural and sensory expression. The event is a combination of conferences and workshops for students and teachers it will take place on October 12 in Hotel Barceló Guatemala City from 7:00 a.m. to 13:00 p.m. (GMT-6) The participants are our students from our three schools: architecture, graphic design and creative arts.
