CineCubo is a film club hosted by the Institute of Architects of Brazil (IAB) designed to foster dialogue between audiovisual and architectural languages and to debate perspectives on the city.

Aiming to discuss the trajectory of Brazilian architecture, based on current discussions and critiques published in specialized media, the IAB will host a series of debates centered on the practice of architectural competitions.
The complexity of addressing this issue has led the IAB to foster a broader reflection on these topics and to invite architects to discuss both the conditions of competitions within the current professional context and their role in a wider urban and social dimension, viewing the city and architecture as social rights for the entire population.

With the goal of encouraging practices for Technical Assistance for Social Interest Housing (ATHIS), the Council of Architecture and Urbanism of Brazil (CAU/BR) mandated in 2017 that all state-level councils (CAU/UFs) allocate 2% of their budgets to support ATHIS initiatives. In alignment with CAU/BR guidelines, the Santa Catarina Council (CAU/SC) established the Special Commission for Technical Assistance (CTEC) in 2017. Composed of a group of architects and urban planners, the commission was tasked with coordinating the development of public and free technical assistance policies, as provided for by Law 11.888/2008.

The "Escola Aberta no Galpão" (Open School in the Warehouse) project stems from a desire to share and build critical thinking regarding architecture, urbanism, art, cinema, geography, and other fields that play a fundamental role in transforming urban lifestyles.

A lecture on the role of the architect, delivered by the school's director, Ciro Pirondi, followed by a guided tour of the exhibition on the Osaka Pavilion by Paulo Mendes da Rocha, will take place on November 27. Registration is open. Free of charge.
