"On the Duty and Power of Architectural Criticism" is an online conference organized by Professor Wilfried Wang taking place October 9-10 and October 16-17, 2021.
Should architectural criticism be enlightening? Should it help in the creation of a better built environment? Is there a factual basis to it? Does it have a duty to present evidence in the evaluation of a building? Or should it take on what architects say about their designs?

Copper, unlike most materials, can have a different and special look depending on its application. It reflects the entire spectrum of architecture: history and future orientation, craftsmanship and technological progress – convention and innovation, technology and art, tradition and avant-garde.
In this sense, the TECU® ARCHITECTURE AWARD is intended to highlight developments in building culture with a focus on copper applications and to recognise new architectural solutions with TECU® products.
I. OBJECTIVES
Identify the best architectural works by architects in the state of Tabasco, as well as publications, research, and theses. Recognize their authors. Disseminate the most relevant works to allow, through analysis and critique, a reflection on responsible contemporary architecture with sustainable solutions.
During the design month held every October in Mexico City, Coolhuntermx, curated by Taina Campos and Andrea Soler, proposes a space to amplify the voices of women designers, architects, and all creatives. Although they are gradually reclaiming and occupying a place on the country's design exhibition platforms, there is still a long way to go to make our disciplines an equal and fair terrain for developing our practices.

ALLPLAN warmly invites architects and other professionals from the AEC industry to its virtual event - "Build the Future – ALLPLAN Global Summit", taking place from 20-21 October.
With over 40 online sessions already scheduled, including industry insights from keynote speakers, the latest product innovations in Allplan 2022, and exciting customer project presentations, it is the perfect opportunity to update knowledge and learn more about new AEC industry trends.
The Design Educates Awards (DEAwards) recognize, showcase, and promote globally the best educational ideas and implementations of architecture and design. Design itself may provide an informative and educational layer that guides us through the increasing complexity of our environment. It can highlight specific possibilities and challenges, explain sociocultural factors and influences, or even outline new scenarios for future development. Each year, the esteemed panel of judges selects outstanding ideas and implementations in the categories of architectural design, product design, universal design, and responsive design.
One Obstruction is a collaborative project that proposes exploring alternatives to the tools traditionally used to represent, showcase, and distribute architecture.
What are the cities we want to live in like? How can we build them through participation? And how do we foster community and social cohesion among citizens? These are the questions being asked by those in charge of territorial planning in the country, and they will be discussed at the "City and Constitution" panel discussion, organized by the Universidad Finis Terrae School of Architecture, which will take place on Wednesday, September 29, at 7:30 PM (Chile time) via Zoom.
“The desert has enslaved me, and I am happy to say that I am still astonished to find that this is so,” writes Reyner Banham in this book, one of the last he wrote during his lifetime, not in his usual role as an architectural historian, but as a “desert fanatic”—a visitor intrigued and bewildered by the arid lands of the American Southwest.
Ideas de Ciudad is a laboratory for research, dissemination, and debate on the spatial and social transformations of the contemporary city. Its goal is to create a city laboratory—an open research platform aimed at exploring the future of cities as spaces for culture and the generation of new social, technological, and innovation paradigms.
The boundaries between different kinds of spaces are not as defined as they used to be. All around us, we are witnessing examples of blurred boundaries between private and public spaces, interiors and exteriors, and formal and informal spaces and so on.
Green Infrastructure is a landscape planning and design method based on creating a network of blue-green landscapes (vegetation and water systems) that perform infrastructural functions while providing ecosystem services to cities. In green infrastructure, design is conceived based on the biogeophysical potential and limitations of the landscape, and water management is carried out through Nature-Based Solutions (NbS) such as rain gardens, bioswales, vegetated infiltration basins, and wetlands, which adapt existing infrastructure to the hydrological cycle and other ecological processes.
The Academic Network of Urban Design, the Department of Architecture at the University of La Serena, and Punto Colectivo invite project submissions—from both professional practice and academic workshops—that demonstrate how the broad goals of urban agendas (Sustainable Development Goals, Habitat III, etc.) can be translated into concrete urban design interventions for cases requiring urgent action.
The 2021 Anacademy Architecture Journey is a fully online event designed for architecture and design professionals and students. Its mission is to contribute to the sharing of knowledge through the professional experience and practice of architects and urban planners.
