A transdisciplinary piece constructed from essayistic fragments, cartographic exercises, and affective displacements. The work begins with the following questions: What is a map? What is the "outside" really? Can paths be traced from desire?
On May 30, Jean-Michel Othoniel will inaugurate his first institutional exhibition at the Instituto Bardi – Casa de Vidro. Titled "Poetic Living," the exhibition presents new works by the French artist, created specifically to occupy the house in dialogue with the architecture and body of work of Lina Bo Bardi.
Emotional Archive: The Intriguing MAC Exhibition That Records Disappointment. An uncomfortable—and deeply human—question runs through the new exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art: what happens to what disappoints us? Is it forgotten, transformed, or can it be recorded?
The exhibition "Charles & Ray Eames: The Unusual Beauty of Common Things" proposes an expanded reading of one of the 20th century's most influential practices, shifting the focus from the object to the system of relationships that produces it. More than just furniture designers, the Eameses emerge as builders of a visual culture that articulates materials, images, games, and knowledge within a single field of experimentation.

Master's Program in Technological Facades and Sustainable Envelopes 2026–2027
In a territory where the horizon is often hemmed in by smokestacks, fisheries, and high-voltage towers, a question arises that challenges the logic of extractivism and what is commonly understood as "development": From where can we begin to dream again? Guided by this premise, visual artist Constanza Hermosilla and architect Julio Suárez present their interdisciplinary artistic project: "Detrás de las industrias se esconde el sol" (Behind the Industries, the Sun Hides), an experimental documentary that subverts the narrative of the "sacrifice zone" to propose a speculative exercise through fiction.
As part of the academic dialogue and reflection space "From Territory to Detail," which brings together architecture professors, students, and renowned architects, the spin-off "From Territory to Detail .re"—positioned at the opposite end of a modern paradigm that defined the city through models of growth, expansion, and consumption that are no longer viable or sustainable—explores the thesis that a territory’s richness stems from its capacity to renew itself. It activates disused spaces to serve as future challenges and resources by reusing previous structures and traces, whatever they may be.
The Faculty of Architecture, Design and Digital Arts (FADAD) at Universidad Gabriela Mistral invites you to attend the keynote lecture "New York, New Publics" by Martino Stierli on Tuesday, April 14, at 5:30 PM.
Since its first edition in 2010, URBICENTROS has established itself as an innovative space for meeting and reflecting on the importance of diversity and the tension between the centrality and periphery of our historic centers. In this edition, URBICENTROS specifically seeks to:
The Ministry of Culture, through the Rouanet Law, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Museum of Afro-Brazilian History and Culture (MUHCAB), and the Instituto Pedra are pleased to present the seminar Between Two Worlds: Africa and Africans in the Historical Archives of the Itamaraty, which will take place on May 15, 2026, from 10:00 AM to 4:30 PM, at the MUHCAB auditorium in Rio de Janeiro.
The Latin American city is built upon fragments: fragments of landscape, memory, construction knowledge, and modes of habitation that remain present, even if they often go unnoticed. In Manizales—a city shaped by its steep terrain, risk, adaptation, and the constant transformation of its territory—these fragments manifest with particular intensity.
The 18th National Meeting on Landscape Architecture Education in Brazilian Schools of Architecture and Urbanism (Enepea) will be held from August 11 to 14, 2026, in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais. As the most traditional and established scientific event in the field of landscape architecture, it will bring together researchers, professors, professionals, and undergraduate and graduate students from across the country for four days of lectures, workshops, short courses, and technical visits.
The São Paulo State Secretariat of Culture, Creative Economy and Industry (SCEIC-SP) and the Pinacoteca Arte e Cultura Association (APAC) announce the opening of submissions for the 36th Museu da Casa Brasileira Design Award in the Product and Written Work categories.

Beyond AI_ded Design:
Looking Forward, Looking Backward
Thirty years after its founding, SIGraDi and the University of Chile invite the academic, professional, and creative community to participate in the 30th international congress of the Ibero-American Society of Digital Graphics, to be held in Santiago at the University of Chile from November 18 to 20, 2026.
This gathering marks a symbolic return to the University of Chile, which hosted SIGraDi 2006 two decades ago under the theme "The Human Factor." At that time, we invited participants to reflect critically on the role humans played in the emerging world of digital design. That critical look at the past—and the future—is more relevant than ever in the face of even more disruptive technologies.
In this spirit, we are proposing the concept of "AI_ded Design," a notion that updates the legacy of CAD (Computer-Aided Design) and projects it toward a new horizon where design, architecture, and urbanism are redefined by algorithmic structures, intelligent environments, and autonomous systems mediated by Artificial Intelligence.
We invite you to think beyond computer-aided design. We aim to open a space for discussion on a form of design where computation—increasingly transparent, ubiquitous, and autonomous—gives way to new forms of cognition, agency, emergence, distributed processes, and a necessary technological ethics that reconfigures design practices.
To stimulate this collective conversation, we propose four open questions:
What have we learned in these 30 years?
What have we improved in these 30 years?
What have we achieved in these 30 years?
What challenges are emerging in the relationship between humans, machines, and environments?
