Camino Intangible

A course shaped by journeys. The city is a space for constructing knowledge, and walking serves as the tool for a critical analysis of its conditions of existence. Cultural heritage is, above all, how we live, socialize, navigate, and think over time; it is about how we engage with what exists and what we produce for the future. Through four routes across different neighborhoods in São Paulo, the classes seek to deepen the analysis of the city through the lens of cultural heritage and explore the development of routes as a tool for inquiry. Cultural references, urban heritage, daily uses, the obsolete, politics, and the fetishization of cultural heritage will be the guiding themes of the activities.

We think we inhabit our houses, our squares, and our cities, yet we only truly inhabit our ordinary practices. The houses presented here are the affections that inhabit us in our day-to-day lives.

Manuel Gómez Piñeiro was the photographer who captured Argentine architecture with the greatest quality, breadth, and a unique perspective. However, in this graphic novel, a condensation of real characters and events are altered, shifting through fictional connections in a kind of parallel reality. In this, his debut work, the author introduces us to an alternate Mar del Plata, where Argentine architects and intellectuals encounter their European counterparts, coexisting with fictional figures during a pivotal moment (the 1945–1955 decade) in the development of the country's architecture and modernity.

In the setting of the Panoramic Room of the Livorno Aquarium and in live streaming, MGI promotes a work shop dedicated to Architects aimed at deepening the characteristics and methods of use of MARBLE in Architecture. After the institutional greetings of Marco Niccolini, President of the PPC Architects Order of Livorno, Paolo Agonigi, CEO of the MGI Group and Daniele Menichini, President of In / Arch Toscana, Architect Giovanni Giorgi will give a lecture on the most suitable approach to design and use marble at its best, between classic and contemporary. An in-depth study on the concept of environmental sustainability will be handled by Jan Knikker, since 2008 in MVRDV, where as a Partner, he directs the development and public relations activities, forming a customer-oriented, fast and strategic studio that includes a strong team. Founded in Rotterdam, the studio has been active since 1993 at an international level in every architectural and urban planning sector, with a mission oriented towards participatory planning, which involves clients, stakeholders and professionals who interact from the earliest stages of the creative process.
The goal is a choral reflection on the use of marble in design, as well as understanding how innovative ways can be used to contribute to widespread application, also in relation to a sustainable use of natural resources. The meaning of the word "marble" which derives from the Greek marmaros and literally means "shining stone" already contains in a nutshell the great potential of this material used since ancient times.
