Seminar 1: Panatropolis, The new Global Hub of Americas
Juan Luis Chevalier, Managing Director, Panatropolis – Global Hub of the New WorldView Profile As its name implies, Panatropolis, Global Hub of the New World, will become the first Aerotropolis, “airport city” in the Central America region. Located in a privileged location in Panama, Republic of Panama and adjacent to the Tocumen International Airport, on 850 hectares of land, it has been conceived as the most innovative logistics platform for the region, connecting the Americas and providing access to more than 3.5 billion people.The master plan calls for 4 phases of aerotropolis development. Zones includes an international business centre, a large logistics and industry park, trade and exhibition facilities, hotels, convention complex, shopping, leisure, and entertainment areas, mixed-use commercial areas, and residential areas containing ample green space to foster community, family, and recreational activities.Over US$100 million has already been invested, including site preparation, engineering, and design work.Panatropolis’ strategy is to fully leverage Tocumen Airport to support the efficient operation of international corporations and Panama businesses as well as offer services and amenities for business travellers, tourists, and residents.

Seminar 2: Creativity in architectural design, school buildings
Alberto Treves, Section Director of Design, ADEC (Abu Dhabi Educational Council)View Profile The architectural profession is meant to be creative, innovative and forward thinking but sometimes such creativity is shattered by the need to provide quick results to urgent situations, or diminished by some kind of complaisance with already proven ways of doing things. This presentation will start addressing theoretical questions about the creative process, and how to stimulate the quest for totally new solutions.The recent experience of school building planning, design and construction in Abu Dhabi will be used to establish a progression of steps and connections leading to school building designs that today are among the most innovative in the world.The active participation of all attendees will be sought to collectively enrich each other’s knowledge and experiences, defining a road map to stimulate creativity and promote innovation.

Seminar 3: Brazil - Architectural Outlook in Brazil
Ruy Ohtake, Principal, Ruy Ohtake Aquitetura e Urbanismo Ltda.View ProfileArchitecture and the City: Architecture should cause surprise, should stimulate emotion. I try to do it light and strong with innovation, images and colours, contemporaneousness or technology. The architecture should mesmerize the city, the people and life. In architecture the word consensus I do not agree with, I prefer boldness. It is important to dream, as the soul of a Utilitarian city does not last it fades quickly.
Social Architecture: I challenge society- immense social change in the last 4 decades has caused a rural exodus from peripheral areas of Brazil’s largest cities - with an identical phenomenon occurring throughout Latin America. Should we intervene? Yes, we must......with solutions of low cost and aesthetically created buildings. Dignity and aesthetics can go hand in hand. Transforming these areas in future city neighbourhoods requires an understanding that physical inclusion is also social inclusion with solidarity and communal responsibility this can be achieved.

Seminar 4: Comprehensive Neighbourhood Development
Leopoldo Arnaiz, President & CEO, Arnaiz Consultores s.l. EspañaView Profile The urban interventions in emerging cities require two types of actions, urban renewal and development of new neighbourhoods.Any transformation of the city is the result of the search for solutions to various social needs, now changing rapidly as a result of modern revolutions.Social demands require their realization with physical transformations of the city, but this requires taking into account principles of modernity, as innovation and sustainability, and management problems and challenges encountered in implementation.Only through this multiple perspective is possible to carry out complete actions, requiring the intervention of various professionals who approach this development in a comprehensive manner, giving simultaneous solution to the aspects of planning, development, construction, facilities and urban services, to ensure proper functioning of the city and that also requires the simultaneous intervention of various professionals in legal, technical, economic, financial and architectural activities.All this requires a specific strategy of action that is desirable contrast in a forum of experts from each of the countries that are affected by the serious problem of urban growth.
