New exhibition at SPARK Malmo, Fake Fakes & Multilayered Materialities,
BRRUM (SE).

Colour Memories - a new exhibition from Museum of Architecture

Tariq Dixon, co-founder of TRNK NYC, will discuss PROVENANCED, a digital exhibition that debuted in fall of 2020. PROVENANCED explores what it might mean to establish a canon of African and Indigenous-inspired design that exists outside a colonial legacy of extraction and appropriation. Dixon's lecture will look at product design and industrial design through the lens of racism and classism in terms of curation, the industrial design business, and how the industry historically has been impacted by these phenomena.

The Pritzker laureate Renzo Piano is recognized worldwide as one of the most
renowned architects of our time. Central elements of his aesthetics include the
playful use of natural light, the transparency of his buildings and their fine detailing. Museum buildings are among his most important construction projects.

Projections, the biennial peer-reviewed Journal of the MIT Department of Urban Studies and Planning, is now accepting abstracts for Projections 16, "Measuring the City: The Power of Urban Metrics", to be published Fall 2022. Projections 16's doctoral editors are MIT PhD candidates Chaewon Ahn, Carmelo Ignaccolo and Arianna Salazar Miranda.

Passion and boldness are the key words of the 11th International Architecture Competition of the Jacques Rougerie Foundation - Institut de France.

Course Details
The Master in Design for Emergent Futures is for students who want to expand their focus interests and acquire the skills to turn protests into prototypes, ideas into actions, and who are engaged in the mission of transforming the current status of affairs in society. The programme aims to provide strategic vision and tools for designers, sociologists, economists and computer scientists, to become agents of change in multiple professional environments and focuses in the design of interventions in the form of products, platforms and deployments that aim to produce new emergent futures, by previously analysing the current challenges in society and industry. The Master in Design for Emergent Futures is organised by the Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia and ELISAVA Barcelona School of Design and Engineering, in collaboration with the Fab Academy.

The Kitesurf School Lençóis Maranhenses competition presents a space where you can experience the relationship between sport, nature and human beings.
The project should highlight the uniqueness of the place and become a space
where there is a respect for the landscape, culture and atmosphere of the place.
This last point is important as the place arrives tourists from Europe or America constantly interested in knowing the place and in fact it is such an inaccessible place that it is normal to make small camping in the area. That is why this kitesurfing school has to allow itinerant accommodation of people but without excessive contamination of the place.
Therefore, the proposed building should consider combining all these
options. Tourists who arrive share experiences with the nature. A unique
and unforgettable experience to get to know this amazing place. In these bases, the designer himself will define the m2 of each area, according to the unique idea he proposes. All ideas proposed will be valid. The project may be on earth, in the sky, buried or flying. It can be developed at the choice of the designer; it can be a compact module or be a dispersion of small buildings that solve the problem.
The competition programme proposes the following spaces, which can be
expanded, simplified and manipulated by the contestant as it sees fit but
justified:
- Personal area. Area dedicated to the work of 2 or 3 people who will put
visitors first, give them kitesurfing instructions or the necessary material to
practice the sports.
- Food and rest area. This area can be shared, linked or even the same
as the rest area if you want. It will be small accommodations for up to 10
people who come to practice the sport and want to have this experience
more than 1 day.
- Toilet area. The minimum and indispensable unit needed to do so.
Bathroom, shower and toilet. It is not intended to place a battery of small
toilets as the minimum possible impact and the minimum ecological footprint
possible are required.
-Storage area: All material needed for sports must be stored. This warehouse
may be indoors or outdoors, covered or not. Depends on the idea of the
designer. As mentioned above, the surface of the proposal is free and these spaces can be closed, opened or semi-open depending on the intentions of each
project, and can be set to any dimension of the enclave. Hence, there are
no restrictions that can influence the decisions each participant makes.
The freedom of the project is absolute, this contest proposes that the participant
research the landscape and the different forms of intervention in it. Study
boundaries, scales, views, cross-looking, horizons, accesses. It’s the keys to follow.
* Participants can suggest new areas not proposed in this document, as well
as eliminate or combine some of those already mentioned

The association ZukunftsRegion Westpfalz e. V. intends to develop the area of the ‘Weiße Kaserne’ in coordination with the city of Zweibrücken and the owners. The former barracks area is centrally located in the city of Zweibrücken/ Germany (in close proximity to the Ramstein US Airbase), not far from the city center. The approx. 4.5 ha large area is to be sold for development. For this purpose, a combined urban development and investor competition is being held to find a coherent urban development and architectural development and utilization concept, for which an investor is prepared to enter into purchase negotiations with the owners and, in the event of a positive conclusion to the talks, to develop the site in accordance with the concept.
The following goals in particular are being pursued with the urban development reorganization:
Integration of the new development into the existing development structure
Strengthening the residential and commercial function in the vicinity of the central downtown area
Creation of a high-quality neighborhood
Revitalization of a brownfield site in the inner area
This is an international, non-open, two-stage investor competition for which an association of investors with architects is permitted.
The awarding authority provides a competition sum of 30,000 € for the architect of the participating consortium (1st prize: 15,000 €, 2nd prize: 10,000 €, 3rd prize: 5,000 €).
The jury is composed of representatives of the owners, the awarding authority, the city of Zweibrücken and renowned external experts.

The TRANSFER Architecture Video Award is an independent award, launched in 2019, to recognise the most creative and innovative short films in the field of architecture, city or landscape worldwide.
The 2019 edition of the Award attracted the participation of over 300 videos from more than 50 countries.
Video is becoming increasingly instrumental in analysing architecture and the human environment, and is directly related to the digital networks that underpin contemporary communication.
With the TRANSFER Architecture Video Award, we aim to highlight the contributions that best represent new means of knowledge and analysis of architecture using video as a support.
