The exhibition OASIS opened at the Estonian Museum of Architecture in Tallinn brings together different projects of designers/artists/architects who created contemporary micro-climates for survival in a hostile environment.

Discover the critical role women have played in the development of modern architecture in this six-week in-person course.

Join the Chicago Architecture Center as we celebrate 25 years of the Driehaus Foundation Award, which encourages quality design in Chicago’s neighborhoods. Our panel discussion will explore the impact of the award and the unique and inspiring partnerships it has fostered. This program is part of Open House Chicago 2021.

Archifest is back in October, as a bigger, better and more inclusive celebration of great design. With over 100 events spread out across the island and online, the month-long Architecture Festival - organised by the Singapore Institute of Architects (SIA) - promises to have something for everyone, appealing both to architecture enthusiasts, and to the general public.

The ArchiMentors Summit 2021 is a free online conference for young architects and designers which aims to inspire and educate through sharing journeys, experiences, and expertise of amazing speakers who have done it before and (often non-traditionally) created their ideal careers within the architecture and design industry!

In 2021, “Matter. The white conferences”, in partnership with Docomomo Internacional and the Faculty of Architecture of the University of Porto, among other institutions, celebrates the 100th anniversary of Mário Bonito’s birth (1921-1976), a modern architect from Oporto, linked to the inception of the renowned “Porto School of Architecture”, with a strong connection to cinema and active participation in theatre. Through a set of actions, we aim to discuss Mário Bonito’s lines of thought and multidisciplinary body of work, which we would like to expand and deepen through the pursuit of authorial readings on contemporary matters.

From October 15–17, 2021, the hybrid event Driving the Human presents 21 new visions for sustainable cohabitation on our planet, both through an on-site event in Berlin and an online broadcast. Coming from a variety of geographic and cultural backgrounds, these concepts suggest innovative and prescient ways to deal with some of the most pressing questions of our present moment. Exploring entanglements between technology and nature, artificial intelligence, circular economies, new modes of production, Indigenous knowledges and approaches, and more-than-human perspectives from the bacterial to the interplanetary, they reinforce perspectives where collaboration and interdependency become essential, determining factors for life and survival on our planet.

Join the American Institute of Architects New York's (AIANY) Emerging New York Architects Committee (ENYA), the Future of Practice Committee, and a distinguished body of global computational design leaders on Saturday, November 6, for a one-day symposium and workshop to explore how computational thinking can be used to solve design problems.

Wrightwood 659 presents Romanticism to Ruin: Two Lost Works of Sullivan and Wright, a dual exhibition exploring two of these architects’ long-demolished masterpieces: Louis H. Sullivan’s innovative Garrick Theater, in Chicago, which stood for only sixty-nine years, and Frank Lloyd Wright’s unprecedented Larkin Building, in Buffalo, NY, which stood for just forty-four. The exhibition comprises two distinct presentations—Reconstructing the Garrick: Adler & Sullivan’s Lost Masterpiece and Reimagining the Larkin: Frank Lloyd Wright’s Modern Icon—bringing the essence of these two titans of modern American architecture to life. Comprising 3D models and digital re-creations of the original edifices; salvaged architectural ornaments and artifacts; original furniture; historical documentation of the design, construction, and demise of the buildings; archival photographs taken by noted preservationist and photographer Richard Nickel; drawings, and historical ephemera, Romanticism to Ruin demonstrates how these iconic designs continue to resonate and remain relevant.

"On the Duty and Power of Architectural Criticism" is an online conference organized by Professor Wilfried Wang taking place October 9-10 and October 16-17, 2021.

Should architectural criticism be enlightening? Should it help in the creation of a better built environment? Is there a factual basis to it? Does it have a duty to present evidence in the evaluation of a building? Or should it take on what architects say about their designs?

For the past decade, photographer Andrew Pielage has traveled the country capturing Frank Lloyd Wright's buildings in his pursuit to photograph every remaining Wright site. Throughout his travels, he has photographed private homes, public spaces, museums, houses of worship, and more. Each building inspires him in different ways, but the one thing that is consistent is the spiritual quality embodied in all of them.

HMC Architects and event partners (Autodesk, Hypar, IMAGINiT Technologies, and Wallacei) are seeking designers, developers, and innovators to create a digital tool that tracks design decisions and provides alternative options based on those selections in HMC’s first-ever hackathon, taking place October 8-10, 2021.
