At a time when urbanization has become planetary and humanity has become a geological force capable of profoundly altering Earth's thermodynamic cycles, it is urgent to reinvent the urban way of life and rehearse other forms of coexistence between humans, animals, and plants—between cities, forests, rivers, and mountains. Furthermore, it is urgent to design, with our feet on the ground and in collaboration with the peoples and sciences of the Earth, the conditions for future habitability.

The São Paulo State Government, through the Secretariat of Culture and Creative Economy, presents the exhibition “Artacho Jurado in the City’s Design” at the Galeria da Cidade.

The Institute of Architects of Brazil - São Paulo Department (IABsp) has issued an educational call for the 13th International Architecture Biennial of São Paulo. The initiative seeks proposals for the Tramas e Costuras [Weaves and Stitches] program, which will be held in São Paulo from May 21 to July 10, 2022.

Applications for the lato sensu postgraduate program at Escola da Cidade are open until March 11, 2022. Established over 10 years ago, the program consists of seven courses and is structured around two central aspects: practice and design methodology, understood as research and a strategy for engaging with space across its multiple scales. The program’s overarching theme is "Civilization America: A Look Through Architecture," which proposes understanding and addressing the historical, geographical, territorial, and social conditions that define us. Through this lens, Escola da Cidade’s postgraduate courses aim to connect professionals working in architecture, urbanism, and related fields with research and critical reflection applied to design and education.

The 11th edition of the International Festival of Urban Interventions (FIIU 11) will take place from October 21 to 24, 2026, in Lima, Peru, establishing itself as a key space for exchange, reflection, and collective action regarding the urban challenges facing Latin America.

2026 ADMISSIONS – Professional Master's in Landscape Architecture (MPAP/FAU/UFRJ)

For this issue of Dearq, "The Spatial Dimension of Urban Mobility," we are seeking contributions that critically analyze the interrelationships between urban mobility, space, and the territorial dimension, while considering social dynamics and environmental aspects. We place special emphasis on understanding how mobility practices, policies, and projects interact with the built environment and contribute to producing—or transforming—urban and regional landscapes.

For this issue of Dearq, "Tectonic Matter," we are seeking contributions that address tectonics not as a style or a fetishization of detail, but as a rigorous field in which the material realities of architecture—such as provenance, craft, labor, structural systems, fabrication protocols, and performance criteria—become inseparable from how space is perceived, inhabited, and understood.
Who can participate: We welcome contributions from architects, historians, theorists, engineers, educators, and researchers addressing this theme. Interdisciplinary approaches and perspectives from specific contexts are encouraged, provided they remain anchored in tectonics as a conceptual and practical field of architectural invention.
The editors invite submissions of research articles, case studies, visual essays, and projects, provided they are original, unpublished, and comply with the journal's editorial policy.

EJI-PATER II | Meeting of Young Researchers in Heritage and Territory Studies

In 2018, the City of São Paulo enacted Law 16.833, which established the creation of the Minhocão Municipal Park and, consequently, the gradual decommissioning of the João Goulart Elevated Highway's vehicular function. This act, along with the series of events that led to it, inspires us to reflect not only on the future of urban mobility—which is increasingly sensitive to social issues—but, more importantly, on the public's urgent demand for more leisure spaces amidst contemporary urban chaos.

PIXO Journal Issue 10 - Women and Urban Places is seeking submissions that address the theme of women and urban spaces. We are looking for research focusing on the relationship between the female body, the feminist researcher, and their theoretical and methodological approaches, challenges, traces, processes, and leads. As researchers and self-proclaimed feminists, we invoke this edition as a breath of academic struggle and resistance, highlighting the work and voices that shape the field of research on women, their various potentials, affections, and performances.

In 2006, the Technical University of Madrid (UPM) launched the first Master of Collective Housing (MCH), an advanced professional postgraduate program focused on research in housing, urban planning, and energy efficiency. The value of this unique program lies in its exceptional teaching faculty and its practice-oriented, comprehensive design philosophy, which emphasizes the integration of theory and practice.
