HOST
FAUD – UNC
The university tradition in Argentina traces its origins to the foundation of the National University of Córdoba (UNC) in 1613 in the city of Córdoba, which today has a population of approximately 3.8 million. As the oldest institution in the country and one of the first in the Americas, UNC boasts a rich history that establishes it as a significant center of cultural, scientific, political, and social influence.
In 1931, the School of Architecture was created as part of the Faculty of Exact, Physical, and Natural Sciences. Later, in 1954, this academic unit became the Faculty of Architecture, Urbanism, and Design (FAUD). Since its inception, FAUD has aligned itself with UNC’s mission, emphasizing values centered on holistic education, the dissemination and application of knowledge, and addressing social issues. Its primary goal is to prepare professionals capable of identifying diverse scenarios and designing strategies that foster multidimensional and inclusive participation.
Currently, FAUD operates from two main campuses: the Ciudad Universitaria campus, located in the southern part of the city, where undergraduate programs are offered, and the Centro campus, in the central area, which hosts postgraduate programs. At the undergraduate level, FAUD offers three programs: Architecture, Industrial Design, and Landscape Design, alongside three technical programs (Industrial Design Expression Systems, Architectural Expression Systems, and Architectural and Environmental Acoustics) and a Bachelor’s in Urbanism, which is under implementation. At the postgraduate level, FAUD provides two doctoral programs, six master’s programs, and eight specializations.
The student population at UNC exceeds 166,840 students, with over 12,427 enrolled in FAUD, solidifying its role as a cornerstone in the training of highly skilled professionals in the region.
MAIN THEME 2025
META RESPONSIVE APPROACHES
The main theme of SiGraDi 2025 is “Meta-Responsive Approaches in Architecture, Art, Design, and Sciences”, encompassing perspectives on research and development, teaching, and professional practice.
Responsive design refers to approaches or methodologies aimed at creating adaptive and flexible solutions capable of effectively adjusting and responding to a variety of changing demands and needs. These solutions must include the capacity for adaptation and adjustment, considering the possibility of addressing diverse situations, whether in terms of physical design (environment), functionality, or user experience.
Welcome to our SiGraDi 2025 event!
SiGraDi 2025 aims to explore how this capacity for responsiveness and adaptation can surpass the traditional concept of flexibility associated with indeterminacy, advancing towards greater innovation, the use of emerging technologies, and a design approach focused on different uses and users in a more holistic manner.
We propose the concept of a meta-responsive approach, an approach that evolves in harmony with the trend of human-machine fusion, the field of experimentation in multiple perception (hearing, vision, touch, smell, taste), human-computer interaction, and interaction with new materials. Accompanied by innovative technologies and methods, Meta- Responsive Approaches bring us closer to a possible, inclusive, and sustainable information future.
At SiGraDi 2025, we will explore how these meta-responsive approaches can transform the way we design, build, and experience the environment.
The research and works presented at the conference are expected to address topics such as:
● The adaptability of architectural spaces.
● The personalization of the user experience.
● The use of smart materials.
● The integration of emerging technologies in design and construction.
We will create a space for participants to reflect on how these approaches can influence the teaching of design and architecture, fostering a more inclusive and future-oriented education. Additionally, we aim to promote interdisciplinary collaboration among designers, architects, artists, and scientists to address current and future challenges in the fields of design and architecture.
In summary, SiGraDi 2025 presents itself as an opportunity to explore new ways of thinking
and acting in architecture, art, design, and sciences. Meta-Responsive Approaches will enable us to create innovative, inclusive, and sustainable solutions for an increasingly complex and ever- volving future.

CÓRDOBA – ARGENTINA
City of Córdoba: Host of the Congress
Welcome to Córdoba, Argentina! This beautiful city perfectly blends history, culture, and nature. Founded on the banks of the Suquía River in 1573, Córdoba is the gateway to the scenic valleys of the province.
As Argentina’s second-largest urban center, Córdoba offers excellent access routes that allow visitors to explore breathtaking landscapes in every direction within minutes. However, even without leaving the city, Córdoba shines with its rich history and vibrant attractions. From historic buildings, museums, and culinary hubs to shopping centers, churches, parks, theaters, and large-scale entertainment venues, the city has something for everyone.
Córdoba is also a city of rebellion, with pivotal moments in Argentina’s history, such as the University Reform of 1918, which reshaped higher education across Latin America, and the “Cordobazo” protests of 1969, a landmark workers’ uprising.
Being “Cordobés” means embracing a rich and diverse heritage:
- The legacy of indigenous cultures.
- The influence of Spanish colonization.
- The profound imprint of Jesuit culture.
- The often-overlooked contributions of Afro-descendants, whose rhythms enriched local traditions like murgas and carnival dances.
- The more recent influx of Italian and Central European immigrants who arrived in the late 19th and 20th centuries.
The Jesuit Block and the Jesuit Estancias, recognized as UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 2000, stand as a testament to Córdoba’s historical and cultural significance.
In the present day, Córdoba embraces multiculturalism and globalization. Its vibrant artistic identity is characterized by contradictions, nuances, and diversity.
Come and experience Córdoba—a beautiful, historic, multicultural, accessible, and welcoming city that invites you to discover its many charms.
Enjoy Córdoba Capital!
