Organised by the Istanbul Foundation for Culture and Arts (İKSV) and sponsored by VitrA, the 4th Istanbul Design Biennial (22 September – 4 November 2018) announces A School of Schools: Orientation, a multifaceted opening programme exploring the possible futures of design education.

Taking place over two days, from 20 – 21 September 2018, the Orientation days will see practitioners, educators and thinkers from Turkey and around the world converge for a biennial conceived as a public space for dialogue, provocation and production. Together, they will test and revise a variety of educational strategies to reflect on the role of design, knowledge, and global connectedness in contemporary Istanbul and beyond.

VeloNotte, international urban history startup on two wheels, celebrates its 10th anniversary of their nocturnal tours with an exhibition-workout in the Schusev Museum of Architecture in Moscow.
Just a few steps from Kremlin, Velonotte converts the room of the 18th-century mansion into a cycling studio. Once you start to pedal the journey will bring you to one of the cities that the project explored so far with speakers like Richard Rogers, David Adjaye, Richard Burdett, Peter Ackroyd, Vladimir Paperny, Jean-Louis Cohen.
The exhibition will feature amateur videos selected by curators from the posts of the more than 100,000 participants of Velonotte night tours all over the world.
On display are also original documents and artifacts from the Velonotte history – such as a piece of the memorial plaque that Velonotte had unveiled in Moscow at Petrovka street 27/16 - where architect Konstantin Melnikov lived during his happiest 1920s (the tablet was destroyed by vandals soon after installation).
A new format of the educational program -lecture-workout - is proposed to enrich the visitors' experience. Velonotte's founder, Dr. Sergey Nikitin is going to tour people "virtually" through the places that Velonotte couldn't do due to bureaucratic reasons - in cities like Vienna, Yerevan, Kazan.

Modernity certainly does not have to be characterized by ugliness, but we may well have to make some revisions in our standards of beauty.

The Daniels Faculty is honoured to welcome Professor Balkrishna Doshi, the 2018 Pritzker Architecture Prize Laureate, to present the public lecture "Paths Uncharted" on Wednesday, May 16, 2018.

"Journeys over the last seven decades showed me how ‘life’ and discoveries happen and how chance encounters enrich new opportunities," says Doshi. "These experiences made me look at architecture as a living entity providing me with opportunities to rediscover and express my hauntings through built-form.

Multiple-airport cities present new challenges for passengers and urban dwellers who often struggle to navigate their aerial infrastructure. The fragmentation of airports in a single city, frequently owned and operated by different governing bodies, can lead to unpredictable and even confusing experiences. With seven airports in its metro area, New York City offers a perfect case study to reimagine airports as a choreographed urban ecosystem, which relies as much on architecture and urban planning as it does on technology and data-driven design. A panel of experts will discuss challenges and opportunities for the future of New York City’s aerial infrastructure, drawing from the think tank’s focus on urban design and digital interfaces.

Today we live in a world where education—its purpose, methods and meanings—are rapidly changing, as well as the learning environment. EdDesign Сonference is designed to open and to support the discussion upon these issues.

How can we educate ourselves today and motivate ourselves? How does early childhood and the kindergarten environment influence children and their skills? How can school spaces become useful pedagogical instruments? How can the modern, thought-through museum motivate for better learning and knowledge sharing? In what way can government, citizens, pedagogues, architects, and designers collaborate to build better educational environments?
