We are living in an era of global-scale innovation.
Architecture and engineering are also being transformed by these innovations, with a new design concept called BIM at the forefront.
According to Bilal Succar, BIM (Building Information Modeling) is a set of interrelated policies, processes, and technologies designed to manage building construction through a database, from the design phase through the end of the building's lifecycle.
As part of the first radio broadcast of the 2018 season—now in its third year on the air—Etéreo (arquitectura que se escucha) captures highlights from the sessions held during the course on urban resilience and climate change in Latin American cities, organized by CELFI (Latin American Center for Interdisciplinary Training).
In this seminar, Sinaenco proposes an analysis of the challenges involved in implementing the BIM Agenda in Brazil, considering the expectation that the methodology will be widespread in public works within 10 years. Starting in 2021, certain federal government agencies are expected to require BIM for the development of architectural and engineering models.
Founded in 2016 by three architecture and urbanism students—Matheus Pereira, Ellen Corrêa, and Yasmim Amorim—driven by a desire to analyze urban space and engage in a deeper discussion about São Paulo's architecture and its layers, the project was born from a desire to inspire architecture and urbanism students, as well as those interested in the field, to develop a new perception of space through the observation of the city and the places we inhabit daily, which often go unnoticed despite their significance.
The graduate program at Escola da Cidade, which celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2018, currently offers four regular courses: ‘Housing and City,’ ‘Geography, City and Architecture,’ ‘Architecture, Education and Society,’ and ‘Mobility – Its Logics and Scales.’ In 2019, the program will expand to include the course ‘Conceiving and Constructing: Lightweight Structures and Prefabrication.’
Forensic Architecture (FA) is a research agency based at Goldsmiths, University of London. They conduct advanced architectural and media investigations on behalf of international human rights organizations, as well as political and environmental justice groups.
Forensic architecture is also an emerging academic field developed at Goldsmiths that concerns the production and presentation of architectural evidence, such as buildings, urban environments, and their media representations.
The project consists of a scientific event and a symposium involving Japanese and Chilean participants on a topic of mutual interest. Both Japan and Chile face significant natural disasters—such as climate change, earthquakes, and tsunamis—that profoundly impact their built environments, cities, urban planning, collective memory, and society. The project focuses on a specific case study: the 2010 earthquake and subsequent tsunami in the Greater Concepción area.
To celebrate its 7th anniversary, the publisher and magazine AMAG is organizing and producing the AAICO | International Congress of Architecture and Art, which will take place in the Greater Porto area during the first week of September, from the 3rd to the 8th.
In their first solo photography exhibition, the artist presents 10 works that showcase, through their own perception, the visual re-signification of building facades in Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, and Belo Horizonte. Contrasts of light and shadow create lines, shapes, and angles that appear as figures distinct from the photographed reality. The abstract result of this work establishes a connection with Brazilian modernism, particularly with the centenary of Athos Bulcão and their panels.
The IAB RS Vale do Sinos chapter invites you to the premiere of the first documentary in the series "Memória da Arquitetura Moderna no Vale do Sinos," taking place this Wednesday, July 4, 2018, at 7:00 PM at the Fundação Scheffel in Novo Hamburgo.
A round table discussion featuring speakers from the 1st National Congress of Architectural Representation.
BOOMSPDESIGN, the international forum for architecture, design, and art, is heading into its 11th edition, with dates already set: August 27, 28, and 29 at the Lounge da Bienal in Ibirapuera Park, São Paulo. The event is premised on discussing, updating, exploring, thinking, and rethinking design.
José Rodrigues de MIRANDA (Maceió, 1907–Recife, 1985) was born into a humble family and lived in the suburbs of Recife when he was discovered in 1972 by collector Lucien Finkelstein. Finkelstein encouraged him to paint extensively and promoted his work globally, even introducing the artist to Anatole Jakovsky, a leading authority on primitive art and author of the "Dictionary of Naïve Painters of the World."
In this summer architecture workshop for students, participants will reside at the Valley House, a project by our firm located near Vieira do Minho in northern Portugal.
Organized by students from the School of Architecture, the 34th edition of this event features an invitation to prominent figures who transform architecture into a unique experience.
Digital Constructivism, a two-week workshop by the Architectural Association Visiting School (AAVS) taking place at the Torcuato Di Tella University School of Architecture and Urban Studies this coming July, explores the generation of material environments from conceptualization to production. Structured as a series and based on an intensive version of the creative process developed by Diploma Unit 17 of the Architectural Association in London, "Spaces for Knowledge Exchange: New Worlds of Leisure," each instance of the workshop informs the next, advancing its conceptual construction cumulatively. The series is based on the conviction that radical architecture does not require appealing to parallel or fictional worlds, but rather operating through technically precise and spatially creative decisions based on connections with a world that, while increasingly homogeneous, is replete with exceptions, specific conditions, and extraordinary situations. From these, the workshop encourages the production of speculations that transgress established cultural identities in order to define new forms of beauty.
