FuturArc Prize 2020 asks how an Asian city might restore a human-nature balance.

TASK
1) Pick a city in Asia. This may be the city you live in or one that you are familiar with.
2) Evaluate the loss of natural habitats and ecosystem services.
3) Understand the impact of this loss on the well-being of humans and other species.
4) Propose new elements and networks that will invite Nature back and restore ecosystem services.

This year, you decide the scale and boundary of the intervention. Your proposal can be at the city-scale; it can be a retrofitted neighbourhood; or it can be a prototype for

PREMISE

With globalisation, the way food is made available to us has transformed enormously. Fine dines of the world to QSRs of the world, food has evolved extensively. Fine dines continue to refine their cuisine and QSRs have become more commercial. Additionally, food trucks and delivery services are gaining more popularity everyday. It is a resource-intensive industry and all these ways have revolutionised the interaction between the chef and the consumer.

Apart from these, there also exist small food joints that are not commercial. Yet, these eateries continue to remain the heart and soul for serving good quality local cuisine or

John H. Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design Launches
New Gallery with Inaugural Installation: NEW CIRCADIA (adventures in mental spelunking)

New Circadia transforms the Daniels Faculty’s new 3,000-square-metre Gallery into a metaphoric cave – a soft utopia designed as an antidote to our technologically-infused lives.

Have our tech-infused lives caused us to forget the benefits and pleasures of losing ourselves in states of repose and reverie?

The Daniels Faculty is pleased to launch the Architecture and Design Gallery, a unique, experimental space — the only gallery of its kind in Toronto — located in the lower level of the

Between 2013 and 2018, the Institute of Urban Design and Landscape Architecture of TU Wien partnered with the Housing and Urban Development Division (HUD) of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) to create a scientific foundation for innovative methods that foster participatory urban planning and design. An experimental design approach was applied, combining people- centered planning, participatory planning tools, urban strategies, and urban design. The Urban Design Lab (UDL) worked in over twenty emerging cities in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC).

The “Urban Design Lab Handbook” displays the result of a five years planning process: not only 21 projects all

We connect with our built environment through stories, most of which are passed down over time. Join us on November 19 for an exploration on how stories go missing, or how some perspectives remain below the radar. Community is built upon understanding and empathy. What changes as we bring different stories together?

Permutable Morphologies is a Parametric Certification webinar Course that focuses on designing forms by means of algorithms. The course is based on understanding the process of building shape, translating a standard 3D modelling process into grasshopper vocabulary and then automating it to interpolate infinite design iterations as solutions while documenting design problems for further use.

The course is carefully crafted for beginners and advanced users alike. It doesn’t matter if you are someone who has no prior knowledge of visual programming or scripting and want to start from scratch. Alternatively, if you’re already somewhat experienced, and you want to know methods

About this Event
The city is not what it used to be. What is private and what is public has become completely blurred. We can no longer think of distinct spaces for work, play, domesticity, and rest. We are living in a 24/7 culture. Industrialisation brought with it the eight-hour shift and the radical separation between the home and the office or factory, between rest and work, night and day. Post-industrialisation collapses work back into the home and takes it further into the bedroom and into the bed itself. Networked electronic technologies have removed any limit to what can be done

VS-A is a facade designing company that celebrates in Shenzhen it's 30th anniversary with an exhibition and 2 conferences. The first conference coincides with the opening of the exhibition, and will question what is the international approach, if there is any, with Partners from OMA, Steven Holl Architects, AREP and Jacques FERRIER.

The Ukrainian team of European Architecture Students Assembly (EASA ) is holding an architecture event called SESAM POLIKLINIKA in Slavutych, Ukraine on 28.05 - 07.06.

SLAVUTYCH was built to rehouse workers from the contaminated zone of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.

250 young architects from Europe and beyond will come in Slavutych, Northern Ukraine, for 10 days. During the event participants will inhabit an abandoned hospital in the city centre and will help to bring it back to life.

Around 30 workshops, run by architectural students and young professionals, will tackle the issue of this post-atomic city. Workshops will be selected

Edouard François, a former student of the Ecole Nationale des Beaux-Arts de Paris and the Ecole Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées, created his own architecture, town planning, and design agency in 1998.

The Maison Edouard François develops new forms of environmental habitats falling within the tradition of projects such as La Closeraie (Louviers, 2006), Eden Bio, Rue des Vignoles in Paris (nominated for the Prix de l’Equerre d’Argent and the Mies van der Rohe award in 2009), Coming Out in Grenoble (Prix Habitat Durable 2008) and others.

In the twentieth century the world was in movement. Cars replaced the horse carriages and sound took cinema by storm. The rhythm of the printing press (Karl Lemke) was brimming, railroad bridges were crossing over the pulsating cities and Free Dance stood for releasing of the mind, body and soul. The modern man was seeking out the beat of his time. Architects, like Mies van der Rohe reacted to it with the invention of the open room layout – for light, air and movement. Moholy-Nagy designed an object out of the light movement called the Light-Space Modulator. What has happened

To celebrate in its own way the 100 years of the Bauhaus,
the team of illustrators in architecture “sauvarjon”
has produced 100 illustrations for which an exhibition is still in preparation.

To celebrate in its own way the 10th anniversary of the opening of the Nantes School of Architecture on the banks of the “Ile de Nantes”,
the collective offers a great illustration contest, free, open to all
around the main theme of "Replica!"
and hopes to collect 100 illustrations from different authors, which will also be the subject of an exhibition and auction during the National Days of Architecture in October 2019.

Please join us for a talk by Deborah Berke, founder of the New York-based architecture firm Deborah Berke Partners and Architecture Dean at Yale University. She will explore the firm’s human-centered approach to design at all scales and across building types.

From transforming old buildings for new futures to designing innovative new buildings that enrich their contexts, DBP is known for the clarity and simplicity of its work and for its commitment to enhancing the daily life of the people who use their buildings and spaces.

In 2013, Berke received the first Berkeley-Rupp award, given to an architect who has advanced the
