 Given the number of registrations to the competition, that until that day exceeded the 320 entries, a reasonable number of attendants were expected. However, the attendants exceeded every expectation. More than 300 architects and students participated at the workshop, something really encouraging for the active participation of architects in architectural events and in the dialogue for architecture, in general.
