Organized by the Lakshmi Mittal South Asia Institute at Harvard University in collaboration with the Architecture Foundation, this conference aims to create a forum that helps architects reflect upon the breadth of work undertaken in the South Asia region collectively. The conference will put theoreticians/academics and practitioners in dialogue with each other - bridging the schism that exists between the academy and practice. This is hoped to lead to some productive insights on both ends of the spectrum to help better inform the question: What is the ‘architecture’ of practice, that is relevant and effective for the South Asia region, that continues to be characterized by acute transitions?

IED - an international network of prestigious design and visual arts schools - is participating in Miami Art & Design Week for the first time with an exciting experiential exhibit at Alcova. A nod to both the site and Gruppo T (a group of Italian cinematic artists from the 1950s), Denoise is a collective video mapping artwork developed by students in IED Milano’s Master Course in Visual Arts for the Digital Age. Combining volumes, surfaces, and sound over several levels of narration, the installation will transform Room 35 into a multi-sensory experience, inviting participants to accept the unknown (equated with noise) as an integral part of our existence.

Stephan Schmid, Director, Albumen Gallery, said, "In many respects the actual building or architectural structure is only the starting point in the creative process of the images.

Coastal zones are among the most dynamic and volatile environments on the planet. They also include some of our most treasured heritage sites. As the rate of climate change accelerates, addressing its impacts–from rising sea levels to coastal erosion–poses the greatest and most complex challenge that coastal heritage sites have ever faced.
How do we construct and maintain community centers for People of African Descent in Western contexts? What are the many potentials and challenges of such an endeavor?

IAAC x ArchDaily - Designing for Emergent Futures. We are currently experiencing a moment of rapid transition. Moving forward, we will need to design for a different world than what we have known. It is crucial to incorporate new skills to navigate in this hyperlocal and hyper-connected world. By leveraging small-scale interventions, we can approach large-scale challenges and address wicked problems without relying solely on single moonshot solutions. Through an analysis of the current global state of affairs and societal challenges, we encourage the production of platforms, products, and deployments for emergent futures.

IAAC x ArchDaily present "Shaping the Future of Architecture". The digital revolution, along with the unforeseen environmental, economic, and social challenges our world currently confronts, compels architecture to shake off many of the traditions and long-standing foundations upon which it has operated for decades if not centuries. Design, in conjunction with multidisciplinary science, stands as the two powerful tools enabling architecture to undergo revolutionary innovation and thereby generate a positive impact and transformative change in the built environment.

re:arc institute invites you to join the second iteration of their biannual symposium program dedicated to exploring the architectures of planetary well-being, which we understand as ongoing practices of custodianship and care towards our socio-ecological environments. Architectures of planetary well-being offer an approach to understanding the frameworks that connect these systems, in turn allowing us to imagine the relational change needed to move beyond extractive paradigms.
