It is necessary to expand theoretical development regarding housing in our country to update the ideas proposed by the Modern Movement in architecture over a century ago. This will allow for the discovery of solutions aligned with current demand, moving beyond the obvious responses of our time to help shift public policy, which currently focuses primarily on quantitative metrics while overlooking significant qualitative aspects.

MICRO was born in 2020 as a reflective process that identified the artistic potential brewing within architecture schools that had remained anonymous, aiming, furthermore, to encourage all students to broaden their horizons beyond the purely architectural. Ultimately, it seeks to collect and host all works produced under the proposed theme in a single exhibition that showcases the artistic talent of architecture schools. The success and quality of the works that comprised the first and second editions have reaffirmed and confirmed the hypothesis of this expanding project.

Since the beginning of the 20th century, Karl Marx’s famous dictum that "All that is solid melts into air" seems to have its own architectural trajectory associated with emerging ideas of lightness, transparency, and the dematerialization of the building, from Georgii Krutikov’s utopias for a flying city (1927) or Vladimir Tatlin’s Letatlin (1932), to H.G. Wells’s city of the future, governed by the "dictatorship of the air" (1936). "Maximum air - Minimum walls!" was Sigfried Giedion’s demand for transforming the old static sense of structure into renewed combinassions aériennes, and a new system of equilibrium in suspension that, in Konrad Wachsmann’s understanding, would transform the building into a breathing skin.

“HOME” is a space that is intimate to all living beings on the planet. It has a broader, deeper and personal connection with its user apart from being a physical shelter for humans and their daily lives, a home forms a distinct, intimate connection with its users. The ultimate goal for a home is to ignite “the idea of belonging” within its sphere and amongst all those sharing the space.

Fricciones, an international meeting for learning exchanges, will serve as a forum to share unexpected situations that allow us to rethink how we want to learn. The event seeks to create spaces where new forms and experiences of learning can emerge. In this edition, we aim to focus on the frictions that occur in learning between, for example, teaching methods, spaces and architectures, bodies, or policies.

Please take a look at what www.nf-architecture.io launches. Architectural competition for a Salon d'Art XR. Extended reality needs to become more than nice renderings and simple copy of reality in virtuality. What is the sense of architecture in virtual worlds and what can architects produce and implement that goes beyond game design? I am sure we will get super interesting ideas from our students and that architecture and it's meaning and power goes far beyond what we see with classical architects going viral. Virtual reality is not a marketing hub. And architects therefor should not abuse it as such but implement basic ideas of architecture adapted to the gained freedom of not being bound to real life. Shelter, expression of ideas, form defined by use, all these criteria still exist and these are the challenges in any world.

Architecture is, by vocation, a subjective matter where typically commission decisions are made on design style and ethos. There is rarely a wrong or right solution. Therefore it is important to have a strong understanding of your company values before submitting for projects. At Simone de Gale Architects, work is won through a number of procurement routes and offering a range of services for potential clients. I interviewed Simone to find out more about her client acquisition efforts and business development, as he runs a smaller but very successful practice in one of the most desirable parts of London- Belgravia. Simone will also speak about this particular topic at Disrupt Symposium taking place this spring 1-5th May 19:00 CET virtually. You can purchase your early bird tickets by visiting the event website
