The Museum of Contemporary Art of Panama (MAC) has officially announced the opening of the International Architecture Competition for the design of its new headquarters. This ambitious initiative aims to create an open and sustainable space that will establish a dialogue with the city, foster community interaction, and project Panama's cultural identity to the region and future generations. The registration process officially began on January 13, 2026, giving architects from various countries the opportunity to present their creative visions. The official competition calendar includes key dates: the deadline for submissions is March 29, 2026, and the final results will be published on May 25, 2026. The proposed design must meet sustainability and functionality criteria, allowing the architecture to act as a social catalyst. The organization seeks for the new building not to be just a container for works of art, but an architectural piece that hosts various cultural manifestations and dialogues with the urban environment of Panama. Interested parties can consult the specific objectives of the competition, detailed registration requirements, and download the complete rules through the official microsite.
