In recent months, we have witnessed one of the crises that has most profoundly challenged our "essence"—our ways of living, working, communicating, socializing, and even relating to one another. These issues, which transcend the health emergency and the pandemic, have prompted us to reflect on topics related to the environment, sustainability, the efficiency of segregating activities, the frantic mobility to which we had become accustomed, the need for flexible spaces in homes and cities, and the nature of public spaces when social distancing is mandatory.

Applications for the Escola da Cidade lato sensu postgraduate program are open until August 13, 2021. Established over 10 years ago, the program consists of seven courses and is structured around two central pillars: practice and design, both understood as research and strategies for engaging with space across its multiple scales. The program’s overarching theme, "Civilization America: A Look Through Architecture," seeks to understand and address the historical, geographical, territorial, and social conditions that define us. With this perspective, the postgraduate courses at Escola da Cidade aim to connect professionals working in architecture, urbanism, and related fields with research and critical reflection applied to design and teaching.

“Our lives unfold through an exchange of nutrients with plants, even if we only remember them when it is time to water them. In one way or another, they are there, allowing us to continue existing here on this planet. However, forty years after the television broadcast of the series Cosmos, it seems we still do not understand plants as a fundamental part of our lives. We continue to view them as a mere source of energy or a raw material to be exploited (capable of defining vast economic sectors); we instrumentalize them when asked to explain the origins of architecture, or we even use their color to tint our projects and ventures with labels like “green,” “ecological,” or “sustainable”; yet it is not common for us to think about them—and with them—when designing. Perhaps to begin settling that debt, in this issue of ARQ magazine, we are seeking essays, projects, and research that challenge the secondary role we have assigned to vegetation, or that demonstrate new ways of including vegetation in architecture, with the minimum condition of moving beyond the paradigm of the primitive hut, as we believe it is time to take a step beyond their mere allegorical instrumentalization.”
