In the words of Eduardo Costa and Sonia Milani, this architect “has established himself as an architectural photographer and is today, without a doubt, one of the few who can translate the words, drawings, and concepts of architects into images, particularly those with whom he shares the same ideas.” This time, Arquicast brings us the extensive experience of architect and photographer Nelson Kon in a conversation of rare honesty and deep insight into the personal experiences of this great Brazilian artist. An architect who is also dedicated to photography, as well as an admirer of Nelson's work, Manuel Sá joins the conversation, helping us understand what makes Nelson Kon a point of reference for different generations of architects and photographers worldwide.

International Women's Day has been celebrated worldwide since it was officially recognized by the UN in the 1970s. Broadly speaking, this date symbolizes our historical struggle as women to achieve equality with men.

In the spirit of these celebrations, as a woman and an architect, I wanted to present an overview of women's professional trajectory in architecture—particularly in Brazil—highlighting the discrepancies that persist in the field to reinforce the struggle that International Women's Day represents. This is both a call to action and a personal reflection, as well as an appeal for collaboration, urging everyone to recognize their own position and, above all, our place as women in shaping our country's architectural landscape.

Two months and eleven days after the start of 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared Covid-19 a pandemic. To contain the spreading threat, citizens and authorities had to devise collective strategies and alter their behavior. This battle between virus and humanity also called into question the very existence and preservation of one of humanity's most important creations: cities.

As the symbol of an environment defined by casual encounters among different people and diverse experiences, those governing urban areas were challenged to convince—and, in some cases, force—their populations to stay home as the primary measure to contain transmission.
