The city of Alicante, the provincial capital and the fifth most populous city in Spain, boasts a privileged climate, an exceptional location, magnificent infrastructure, and extraordinary connectivity. With its airport—the fifth busiest in Spain by passenger volume—and its high-speed rail connection to Madrid, the city is a continuously developing technological and service hub that also hosts the European Union Intellectual Property Office, the registry for EU trademarks and designs.
Concepting is all about the early stages of the design process. A process where architects need to explore, think, make, create and express. It is not a linear process with a defined start and end point but rather a circular/iterative process. It involves testing and rejecting. Sometimes an entire concept will be 'thrown away', while at other times, the architect will keep and discard parts and continue to evolve.
The work of lead architects is essential during the concepting stage, where their experience and vision allow them to set the project's parameters and overall design intent. By enabling architects to spend more time in this stage, with more data and feedback, Spaces contributes to creating better project outcomes and architects who can spend more time doing what they do best and enjoy the most.

In light of the highly contentious revision process of Porto Alegre’s Master Plan, the sixth edition of this micro-walking festival will focus on "the effects of a Master Plan on daily life." We believe it is urgent to bring the public closer to this crucial debate, opening up different fronts of resistance—both in legal and administrative spheres and in the social field—to renegotiate a desirable city, far beyond the neoliberal, consumption-oriented, and individualistic model that sectors of the public administration and the private sector seek to impose upon us.
São Paulo, 2023 – Insper, through its Arq.Futuro Cities Laboratory, has opened registration for the first cohort of the live online course "Urban Planning and City Regulations."
