Território Liberdade Workshop - Erasures and Migrations
Registration is now open for the Território Liberdade workshop, a research-based activity organized by the cultural association Goma Oficina, taking place in downtown São Paulo throughout April and May 2025. The workshop will introduce a methodology for engaging with the Liberdade neighborhood and its surroundings, exploring the intersections of photography, cartography, and the historical erasures caused by structural racism.
How do buildings establish and engage with territories? How do temporalities manifest themselves in buildings? How do architects deal with multiple temporalities and territorialities? How do buildings live and die?

In the world of urbanization, space is becoming a scarce commodity. Cities are bursting at the seams, with limited space for both private and public development. This creates a need for a shift towards more efficient urban planning that would combine aesthetic design with high functionality. MPSystem robotic parking offers the perfect solution by combining function and architectural design freedom.
The “FROM TRASH TO TREASURE: Recycling” project returns for its second edition at Galeria Metara.
This event, which focuses on sustainability and environmental awareness, will feature an exhibition of works by Susi Sielski Cantarino and Osvaldo Gaia, alongside paintings produced during workshops.
On March 19 at 4:00 PM, the next edition of Tech Talks will take place, an event promoting discussions on innovation within the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) sector. Hosted by the Polytechnic School of ATITUS Educação, the gathering will bring together experts to explore how technology drives new creative and design possibilities.
Experimental films, polaroids, “film objects,” and previously unseen works by the Rio de Janeiro-based visual artist will occupy the Cavalariças starting March 28.
The solo exhibition brings together a collection of works in various formats, curated by André Sheik, tracing the artist’s experiences, concerns, travels, and friendships.
The Growarq Week is an event dedicated to architects, engineers, designers, and students looking to revolutionize their design process through a methodology that combines two software programs: Revit and Lumion. The event will take place from April 7 to 10, starting at 7:00 PM each day, and will be held entirely online.
The activation is based on the work “Só por es-tar” [Just to Be] by the São Paulo-based visual artist and poet, which is part of a group exhibition inspired by a book by South Korean philosopher Byung-Chul Han.
The program’s third edition will be led by DJ GrandMaster Raphael, a pioneer of funk parties, joined by MC Cidinho, MC Mascote, MC Cacau, and Duda do Borel.
Dialogue with the forest: A contemplative experience from the "Quintas Maravilha" educational program, part of the Maravilha Project
The event offers a two-day immersion into the future of sustainable construction, gathering global leaders, innovative companies, and industry professionals to discuss practical strategies, high-impact networking, and business opportunities within the sustainable building sector.
On Saturday, April 5, the Eiffel bookstore will host the launch of the book Avenida Brasil rodovia metropolitana. Por um estatuto contemporâneo do espaço infraestrutural. Winner of the 2023 IAB National Award, the book advocates for the concept of the "metropolitan highway." Based on a case study of the urban segment of the BR-101 highway in Rio de Janeiro, the work explores the road far beyond the notion of mobility, positioning it as a key space for rethinking design and urban planning in Brazilian metropolises and the Global South.
Featuring a rich and extensive iconography, the book includes a Morphological Atlas of Avenida Brasil. This visualization enables the proposal of "design logics between highway and territory" as catalysts for the relationships and spatialities implicit in the interface between infrastructure and human occupation.
The event will feature a conversation between the author, Pedro de Moraes, and Professor Guilherme Lassance, author of the book In-formal. Infraestrutura urbana revisitada, which will also be launched at the event. The discussion will be moderated by architect and urban planner Pedro Sales, a professor at Escola da Cidade.
The architecture competition to design the future Environmental Education Center at the La Laja landfill seeks to propose a space that promotes understanding the landfill as an educational site for human adaptation toward responsible consumption and a shift in how household solid waste is conceptualized, focusing on reduction, reuse, recycling, and composting.
About the lecture:
"'Transcendence' (defined in at least three ways) will be presented as the purest function of architecture. Contemporary phenomenological and scientific methods will be used to examine the relationship between the mind and materiality, as revealed in significant architectural experiences. Through this discussion and various examples, we will realize that, for the first time in history, we can begin to consider and concretely address the most important and timeless questions of architecture and, perhaps, of human existence. — Julio Bermudez"
Buildner has released the results of its Pape Info Point Competition, organized in partnership with The Latvia Programme of the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF Latvia) which focuses on environmental conservation, biodiversity protection, and sustainable resource management in Latvia.
This international competition invited architects and designers to propose a new visitor information point for Pape Nature Park, a protected area on Latvia's Baltic coast. Participants were challenged to design a structure that enhances the park's role in conservation and ecotourism while blending harmoniously with the surrounding landscape. The goal was to create an engaging and educational space that informs visitors about the park's rich biodiversity, migratory bird populations, and unique ecosystems while maintaining a minimal environmental footprint.
In Mexico, adopting regional architectural design, utilizing local materials, employing local labor, and managing the production and transport of supplies are essential steps architects can take to reduce our environmental footprint and celebrate our identity. In Cycle 6.0, we return to our roots and our surroundings, exploring how distinguished architects have managed to not only honor the northern region but also implement strategies to protect and preserve it.
