REAL MATTER is an annual summer workshop in Raleigh, NC, hosted by in situ studio and organized around a collaborative urban project, a robust lecture series, and building tours. Information about the workshop is available here: https://insitustudio.us/real-matter/

Since the end of the nineteenth century, the planning of cities has been understood as the discipline that establishes guidelines to project architecture for human occupation, with a focus on rationality and functionalism. Nevertheless, the city is a system of many layers and folds, constructed through the interaction of natural, cultural,socioeconomic,and political forces. This choreography, with a variety of purposes and different degrees of synchronization, creates architecture that serves both as shelter and context.Architecture, therefore,does not limit itself to the production of objects but rather appears as a field of study between and through disciplines, called upon to contribute to the organization of those forces that composepublic stages, the space where collective itineraries meet and intertwine.These stages have existed historically.

Tod Williams is a Founding Partner of Tod Williams Billie Tsien Architects | Partners. Their practice is known for their humanistic approach to architecture primarily for institutional clients such as museums, schools, and nonprofits. Prioritizing experience above all, their designs choreograph light, texture, solidity, and a deep sensitivity to the places for which they’re built. While the work has grown in scale, the foundational principles of the practice remain intact: “to serve, to make good marks on the earth, to acknowledge the work comes from not just two hands, but many hands, and, fundamentally, architecture is an act of profound optimism.”

Let's find out the solution about green living in the present and future during the "Green Living" DEX-Series on Saturday, 24 September from 1:00 PM. to 2:45 PM. (BKK Time)

Following the great success of the first three editions held from 2019 to 2021, the idea of a fourth ScaLIurbani 2022 event was launched to confirm the annual frequency of this important cultural event. The theme chosen for next year is Mediterranean Connections or the Connections created by the Mediterranean and, with them, ties, relationships, Architectures and stories related to it; a theme that has as its objective the involvement of the countries bordering our sea through their projects and achievements as well as with the free interpretation of the relationship between the sea and its borders; the relationship between Architecture, City, Territory and Culture of the various countries, therefore, becomes a trait d’union between the various places in the Mediterranean basin.
Mediterranean as a bridge between East and West, between South and North; a basin that is not only a geographical place but also a changing collective imagination that contributes to influencing the perception of space in the various countries bordering it. Architecture becomes that element and that bond that can also be shared through the diversity of places in the Mediterranean which are sometimes represented as similar or close, while others, on the other hand, as aliens and strangers due to social, cultural and economic differences.
The event, of international scope, aims to be (as in previous editions) an opportunity to return to express, through Architecture, the strong desire for the quality of the space in which we live, a wealth to be protected, to be renewed and create.

"The Architecture of Transition: Emergent Practices in South Asia" will convene young practices that have displayed a rigorous engagement in making architecture in the public realm and in response to the spectrum of issues that societies in acute transition are experiencing. This online lecture series will take place over the next year beginning on September 17, 9am EST.

Dr Theodore Spyropoulos, Director of the Architectural Association's Design Research Laboratory and Director at Minimaforms, will present a public lecture entitled Towards the Certainty of Uncertainty.

“Social Engagement by DEX-Series"

The University of Southern California School of Architecture delivers a compelling and diverse lineup of distinguished architecture, culture and art industry leaders for its Fall 2022 ARCHITECTURE ENGAGED series of events.
ARCHITECTURE ENGAGED is a series of conversations, symposiums, creative talks, exhibitions and events in which USC Architecture engages the Los Angeles community and the global public in innovative thought, practice, and social impact - by connecting architecture thinking to systemic challenges for individuals, cities, and regions.
The events host leading and emerging architects, designers and thinkers from around the world who present topics related to architecture, landscape architecture, urbanism, heritage conservation, building science and more.

in situ studio hosts a two-week design workshop, Real Matter 2022, every summer in Raleigh, NC featuring lectures, tours, and a collaborative project. Participants are given the opportunity to interact with community leaders and design professionals, while also building a network with peers from across the country.

The “Daylight Awareness Week” is organised in the context of the UNESCO International Day of Light. In addition to its core mission of connecting daylight experts and encouraging creativity and innovation, the Daylight Academy seeks to disseminate knowledge and create awareness of the impact daylight can have on human and nature. This series of online talks is part of this ongoing effort and is intended for non-specialists, citizens, students, and stakeholders interested in daylight research.
