The third edition of Hello Wood in Argentina is approaching—scheduled for March 2–10, 2019—and is calling for university students or recent graduates in architecture, design, and art who are inspired to build around the new theme: CON-TENSIÓN.

Organized by the Sociedad Central de Arquitectos, this international competition seeks the development of a preliminary design for the Faro de la Cultura (Lighthouse of Culture), a cultural center to be located in the Rodrigo Bueno neighborhood of Costanera Sur, between the ecological reserve and the former Boca Sports City.

The project’s primary objective is to stimulate integration and equitable access to facilities for all local residents, fostering community engagement.

Ideasforward is an experimental platform that seeks progressive ideas reflecting emerging themes. Ecological design, sustainable architecture, new materials, concepts, and technologies are pressing issues for the societies of the future, and the participation of the entire community is essential. In an era of globalization, where communication has been dominated by the technological revolution, there is a need to rethink cities and how humanity relates within a global world, as well as to reconsider the economic, social, and cultural patterns of contemporary societies.

The Municipality of Quito, through the Metropolitan Institute of Urban Planning (IMPU) and the Pichincha Architects Association (CAE-P), invites architects, urban planners, and other professionals to participate in a competition aimed at the urban renewal of the railway corridor in southern Quito.

This competition seeks to reimagine the corridor, which currently only serves the tourist train, and whose spatial, environmental, economic, and social potential remains untapped. Consequently, the competition encourages the development of proposals that integrate and acknowledge this historic infrastructure within the city, highlighting its potential as an inclusive and connective public space. The goal is to create gathering spaces and incorporate facilities, retail, and services that enhance the current use and character of each sector. Participants may even rethink the role of this corridor for various urban functions, regardless of whether the train remains in operation. The corridor spans approximately 13 kilometers and traverses areas with a significant diversity of dynamics, land uses, and levels of urban consolidation.

The journal Designia invites the national and international academic community to submit research-based articles in the fields of Architecture, Urbanism, Design (graphic, industrial, and fashion), Heritage, Museology, and Visual Arts for publication in Volume 6, Issue 1.

The Municipality of Villaputzu, Italy, has launched an ideas competition on the Bologna Order of Architects platform to improve the Porto Corallo coastline. The project seeks to integrate the existing coastal road into a system of low-impact, low-speed paths. These slow-traffic routes should facilitate sustainable use of the beaches and other areas of natural, scenic, and cultural interest.

Brazilian state capitals have become the setting for an unusual trend: motels are moving away from highways and into city centers, offering an increasingly wide range of entertainment-related services. The motel, which originated in Japan about 400 years ago, is a lodging format that generates R$ 4 billion annually in Brazil and accounts for approximately 25% of all lodging in the country's capitals.

The 2018 AA Visiting School in Santiago will study and challenge the conditions for architectural and urban design within this neoliberal context. Through design projects, it will speculate on new artifacts derived from the spatial and functional decompression of the shopping mall, understood as a series of strategic interventions and operations within the city that ultimately aim to rethink the relationship between housing, infrastructure, and urban design.
