“A city is a unity of dissimilar elements,” said Aristotle, and his words still ring true. Today, millions of people live in megacities with different, often conflicting interests, and the task of urban planners is to make cities convenient for everyone, taking into account the characteristics of their inhabitants.

With Coventry designated as the UK City of Culture for 2021, and with many of its post-war architectural masterpieces under threat of redevelopment or destruction, printmaker Paul Catherall thought this was a timely chance to create a body of work that reflected on the unique beauty of his hometown.

SCI-Arc Main Event 2020, which will be held on May 2 at SCI-Arc’s campus in downtown LA’s Arts District, is the most glittering and lively affair of the academic year, supporting the SCI-Arc Scholarship Endowment. At the gala guests can enjoy drinks, music, and alimentary fare, all while experiencing an exclusive site-specific multimedia installation and performance that will be unlike anything ever seen before at SCI-Arc. Main Event brings together alumni and friends as well as leading designers, builders, and creative professionals to celebrate SCI-Arc's reputation as a world-renowned center for innovation and architectural thinking.

This landmark exhibition at the Building Centre will explore the potential of stone to revolutionise architecture and construction in light of the current climate crisis. It may seem like an ancient building material but stone has serious sustainability credentials; with the ability to reduce a project’s embodied carbon by an incredible 90 per cent compared to typical steel or concrete frames. The New Stone Age will celebrate the sustainability, practicality and inherent beauty of the world’s oldest natural material.

RIBA presents Forms of Industry, an exhibition of contemporary photographs by Alastair Philip Wiper (1980) and archival images by Eric de Maré (1910-2002) from the RIBA Collections. Separated by more than 50 years, the two photographers share a common interest in industrial buildings and landscapes, yet their differing approaches create a commentary on changing attitudes towards industrialisation and sustainability.

RIBA presents its first virtual reality (VR) exhibition, exploring moments across 500 years of aesthetics in architecture.

What makes a style? How is a style collectively agreed upon and shared? Drawing on RIBA’s world-class collections, Space Popular uses virtual reality to examine styles of the past and to consider the technology’s impact on contemporary spaces and buildings. Historic artefacts will be displayed alongside newly commissioned content, inviting you to enter a beguiling virtual universe to experience how popular cultures and technologies impact architecture and its style evolution.

A systematic concept of workplace strategy advances with the times. It’s closely related to the evolvement of technology and the work patterns of the new generation workforce.

In the challenging context of accelerating climate dynamics, the core discipline of architectural design is evolving and embracing new forms of action. New York-based nonprofit Terreform ONE has established a distinctive design tactic that investigates projects through the regenerative use of natural materials, science, and the emergent field of socio-ecological design. This kind of design approach uses actual living matter (not abstracted imitations of nature) to create new functional elements and spaces.

Architecture is a serious matter – in that respect, OVO Grąbczewscy is no exception. Functional, constructive, legal, and financial requirements, as well as client expectations, mean that architecture is the most “unfree” of all the arts, and the trend is rising. In order to retain the creative freedom necessary for their profession, the architects have developed the thesis of “playing architecture”. This enables them – despite stringent conditions – to apply their vision, research, and sense of freedom, fun, and humor as they see fit.

Being an Architect or Interior designer is not an easy job. It’s been long years of Hardworking which goes through days and nights. But what we expect after college to land on a great job or open our own firm or do some freelancing.

Connecting the technical and conceptual, the work of Anne Tyng stands out within and beyond the field of architecture. Through independent projects, in addition to her work with architects Louis Kahn and Pier Luigi Nervi, Tyng explored geometry as it relates to natural form and construction. She approached design as a process and profession through teaching and writing, addressing the social, psychological, and experiential dynamics of creativity and collaboration; her work has influenced other practitioners as well as models of practice. At the center of this conference is the question, “How do we position the legacy of an architect whose interests and methods remain relevant in contemporary discourse?” Anne Tyng: Ordered Randomness reconsiders established histories by tracing Tyng’s design approach through built and unbuilt works, and further explores continuing resonances of her work as found in current architectural and engineering practices.

The exhibition will be one of the projects in the anniversary exhibition programme celebrating AEDES' 40th anniversary. It has been chosen as a significant social project and a unique example of support for young architects at the national level. "The Russian youth architecture Biennale is truly unique – there is nothing like it in the world,” says Kristin Feireiss, founder of AEDES Architecture Forum, curator, architecture critic, and member of the jury for the Pritzker Prize. “And the fact that Russia was the first country to organize a competition like this is eloquent evidence of its interest in motivating, supporting, and promoting the future generation of Russian architects."

A one-week workshop for individuals interested in filming architecture and the city. Between 16 and 20 March at ZK/U in Berlin, we will benefit from feature and short films to discuss urban architecture, and to re-produce Berlin through filming. The target of the workshop is to make a short film within the boundaries of the city. As a Berliner, or an outsider to the city, participants will be making a film in and about Berlin within the theme of “Urban Memory.” The workshop is open to all, and film experience is not required.

The future of the European city is the central theme for Sergei Tchoban. It is evident that the language of contemporary architecture and the size of urban gestures contrast with the structure of the historical or traditional European city. Is it possible to harmonize and regulate these two positions? Is there a quality in the spontaneity or even in the chaos that can arise?
