"Shameless Copy."
The Brazilian firm Terra e Tuma (Fernanda Sakano, Danilo Terra, Juliana Terra, and Pedro Tuma) is rooted in experimentation.
Their project for LIGA explores the concept of copying in architecture, not as a pejorative act, but as one open to creativity. Throughout their career, their projects have been exhibited at the Venice, Rotterdam, and Quito Biennials.
We know that the world is changing, and this is a moment to reinvent ourselves in the face of an unprecedented situation. The health crisis has compelled us to transform the way we live and interact today.
Office work has been reinvented in response to the need for cultural and digital transformation. Consequently, millions of Mexicans are now working from home—an increasingly common practice that has tested our individual resilience, allowing us to adapt to this new way of working while balancing new responsibilities and activities that promote our performance and well-being.

“Housing and Equity” will analyze the physical, psychological, and environmental characteristics of contemporary housing and cities that perpetuate gender roles. These factors limit women's autonomy and development while reinforcing the economic and social logic that maintains the “sacred family” as the sole model for design.

The College of Architects of Mexico City and the Society of Architects of Mexico invite you to their 7th International Congress, "Synchronizing Architecture," which will take place on October 1, 2020—Architects' Day—in a digital format from 9:00 AM to 8:30 PM. For this edition, the CAM-SAM is organizing the congress with the support of the International Union of Architects (UIA) and the American Institute of Architects (AIA), under the general coordination of architects Arturo and Jorge Arditti of Arditti + RDT Arquitectos. Architecture possesses an inherent, intrinsic energy capable of triggering events and deeply impacting social responses, which distinguishes it from other creative expressions. At this seventh CAM-SAM Architecture Congress, we seek to find the right balance in architecture between new adaptability in living, functionality, spatial sensitivity, and defying gravity, ensuring that spaces transcend and age with dignity. We will witness a congress where leading national and international architects present their cutting-edge projects with ecological and technological sensitivity, adapting to this new reality.
The keynote speakers are:

Marcel Duchamp is perhaps the most cited and least understood Western modern artist. His life and work, intrinsically and elusively intertwined, still hide secrets today that baffle, amaze, and sometimes offend when uncovered. Marcel Duchamp can be considered the “inventor” of conceptual art; however, he is best known for the humorous occurrences he called Readymades. In this course, we will review these varied dimensions of his figure with the goal of gaining a more thorough understanding of contemporary art, which is, to a certain extent, his legacy.
As part of the Final Degree Workshops at the EAAD of ITESM Campus Guadalajara, the results of the first Adpprentice AADP Workshop will be presented on Wednesday, September 30, at 5:00 PM (CDMX). The workshop aims to connect recent architecture graduates with renowned architectural firms, where participants can refine their design skills by interacting with the firm's principals in a learning environment based on the mentor-apprentice model.
Renowned architect Julio Gaeta will provide commentary on the project "Reconversion of the Salcido Marble Cement Plant into a Regional Environmental Center."

We would like to publicly thank Tec de Monterrey for providing the space and architect Julio Gaeta for his time in joining us for this significant event for Adpprentice.
