Reflections: In Conversation with Time
An exhibition by ADND

ZETHAUS Symposium ININ will take place at the IUAV – Università Iuav di Venezia, gathering architects, artists, and thinkers to reflect on how we build, dwell, and imagine the world we share.

Open House Thessaloniki returns on 22–23 November, once again inviting the public to experience the city through its architecture. During the festival weekend, over 70 buildings, ranging from historic landmarks and adaptive reuse projects to innovative new constructions, will open their doors for free guided tours led by volunteers, offering a unique opportunity to explore Thessaloniki’s diverse architectural identity.

The exhibition “OBRA OBERTA, dedicated to the work of architect Josep Lluís Mateo, opens at the Col·legi d’Arquitectes de Catalunya. Curated by María Figueras and Cristina Marcos, the show invites us to rethink the architectural act as a practice in constant transition, where the physical and the conceptual intertwine through processes, representations, and contexts.

What is risk worth? Architecture is inseparable from uncertainty—sometimes embraced, sometimes resisted, but always present. We invent bold forms that may fail. We propose brighter futures that may falter. To practice architecture is to take on risk—with capital, with reputation, with the city, with the lives shaped inside it. For the innovator, risk is agency, progress, recognition, and the chance to improve lives. For those who mitigate risk, it’s value is inseparable from the scaffold that protects progress from catastrophe. For those outside the conventional practice, such as architect-developers, design-builders, and others, risk is currency, the price of control. Each stance reveals a different measure of what risk means and what makes it worth taking. These tensions will enliven the conversations at the heart of this event.

Each month, Friends of Residential Treasures Los Angeles (FORT: LA) curates a new self-guided trail, inviting Angelenos to explore the city’s rich architectural heritage. These immersive experiences highlight significant homes, hidden gems, and the designers who have shaped Los Angeles' built environment.
