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

Call for Entries: The Spatial Dimension of Urban Mobility

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.

Call for Papers Dearq 49: Tectonic Matter

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editors invite submissions of research articles, case studies, visual essays, and projects, provided they are original, unpublished, and comply with the journal's editorial policy.

The expectation is for a space that provides protection against the extreme weather conditions of the Patagonian environment (wind, cold, snow) without becoming a permanent or massive shelter.
