This book emerged from the first Buenos Aires Publica open call, promoted by the Fundación Tejido Urbano in 2019, and was one of the two inaugural prize winners. The publication is a reworking of the research conducted by the author for their doctoral thesis. The publication’s central argument is that the city of Buenos Aires is the product of deliberate decisions rather than spontaneous growth. In a comprehensive and methodological narrative, the author compiles decades of urban planning decisions embedded in the city, accompanied by a central color section that investigates and reinterprets the most significant maps and plans in the development of our metropolis. It offers an interesting and necessary reflection on the construction of the city through political and state-led actions.
This book is a study of the relationship between architecture and painting through the work of Francisco Méndez Labbé, a pioneer of non-figurative abstract art in Chile and co-founder of the Institute of Architecture at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso. Méndez Labbé transitioned to painting after training as an architect, at a time when the arts and architecture in Chile were navigating a complex period of integration into the modern art debate.

A “home” is a space that is intimate to all. Apart from being our safe haven, a home goes beyond its everyday function of being a shelter for its users and their activities; it connects with each of us on an emotional and personal level. As time evolves, the definition of “home” also keeps changing. The 21st century witnessed concepts like Airbnb, Co-Living, Smart Homes, Tiny Homes, etc. gaining popularity with both young and older generations alike sparking movements across the globe.

Shaping the City: A Forum for Sustainable Cities and Communities | 15 & 16 October 2021

Working smarter, not harder is the goal of every business; but in architecture, where margins can be thin, it’s an imperative. So how do firms work smarter without spending tons of time wising up? By leveraging artificial intelligence—or AI.
Put simply, AI analyzes huge datasets to solve the historically unsolvable. AI unburdens people from time-consuming activities, like planning projects and work. Our brains aren’t wired to manage dozens of conflicting schedule dates, projects, and staff. But Mosaic—AI-powered resource management software—is here to help architects effectively plan.
