Architectural (De)Schooling in the Age of Quarantine
These days architecture schools are trying to figure out how to conduct lectures and seminars, studios and crits online. But it is just as well a test of the very foundations of architectural education. Do we need architecture schools? Do we need them to change? Are they capable of change, to prepare to deal with this crisis and the next to come?
IE School of Architecture and Design and ArchDaily would like to invite you to join this outstanding online master class led by Joy Yoon, the former Studio Director of the Adidas Brooklyn Creator Farm as she discusses how to grow within a creative community, failing on purpose, and learning how and who to trust.
Capitalizing on the current shift toward online learning, architect and professor Pedro Vada has organized a series of conversations with Portuguese architects, specifically tailored for Brazilian students.
TALK: Embracing Heat: How Some Gained Comfort in Scorching Climates. Pedro Guedes, Friday, June 12, 7:00 PM
This Monday, May 25, marks the beginning of the 7th Arica Barroca South Andean Art Festival, an initiative established in 2014 to highlight the cultural identity and diversity of Arica, Parinacota, and the South American Andes. For 2020, Arica Barroca introduces the theme “Sayarikuna”—Quechua for “We will rise”—to spark inquiry into exemplary manifestations across the American continent. It invites us to reflect on a return to our origins, the principles of “good living” (*buen vivir*) within the Andean worldview, and the practice of collectivity, reciprocity, and access to information, learning, and *Ayni*.
PRESENTATION: Earth Architecture - Appreciation and Disregard, Norma Barbacci, Friday, June 5th, 4:00 PM.
On Monday, May 25, the VII Arica Barroca South Andean Art Festival begins—an initiative established in 2014 to highlight the cultural identity and diversity of Arica, Parinacota, and the South American Andes. For 2020, Arica Barroca presents the theme "Sayarikuna"—Quechua for "We will rise"—to prompt questions regarding exemplary manifestations across the American continent. It invites reflection on returning to one's origins, the principles of "good living" (buen vivir) from the Andean worldview, and the practice of collectivity, reciprocity, access to information, learning, and Ayni.
Isolation, viewed from various perspectives and disciplines, is the central theme of the "Isolated Dialogues" series, organized by the Universidad Finis Terrae School of Architecture, which takes place every Wednesday through July. The series features national and international artists, architects, designers, musicians, scientists, and journalists.
Description This course brings together key architectural photographers and their contributions across three historical periods: pioneers (1826–1900), modernists (1900–1950), and contemporaries (1950–present).
How do we address the issue of isolation through the lenses of habitability, time, or space? These are some of the questions posed by the "Isolated Dialogues" series, organized by the Finis Terrae University School of Architecture, which will bring together various local and international artists, architects, designers, musicians, scientists, and journalists in each session to discuss these topics.
The School of Architecture at Universidad Finis Terrae is launching a new series titled "Isolated Dialogues," a set of online conversations in which prominent international and national guests will analyze the theme of isolation from various perspectives.
Given the current scenario of social isolation, IAB-RJ's continuing education program, IAB Compartilha, is bringing a selection of our 2020 regular season courses into your homes through reflections and debates in live streams as part of our new cultural and educational program for these times: "IAB-RJ em casa."

AAVS El Alto Instagram Live Serie Friday at 6pm
Tales from the Altiplano is a series of live Instagram talks with Andrew Kovacs, Delphine Blast, Manuel Seoane, Patricio Crooker and many more. We will be questioning how architecture is seen as a means of reclaiming a cultural identity. How in this informal Bolivian context can we construct a new way to approach architecture. The AAVS El Alto explores the Altiplano as an example to counteract a certain gentrifying flatness of today’s architecture- providing an opportunity to describe singularities and sub-cultures, through iconographic and architectural strategies. In these unsettling times, our Programme has been suspended in response to the current health crisis. However, this series will keep alive the conversation about architecture and urbanism with artists, researchers, and young Architects and Designers.
We aren't entirely sure what the world needs in uncertain times like these, but taking the time to come together and refine our ideas regarding territory, architecture, gender, cleanliness, or mobility can undoubtedly make a contribution. That is why, just as we have done for the past 15 years, we have been working to offer you free, high-quality content about our cities and the ways in which we inhabit them.
Please join us for the last in the SCIAME Zoom Lecture Series, “Climate Justice” with Denise Hoffman Brandt, Associate Professor and Graduate Landscape Architecture Program Director, as she presents, “Petri Dish: a study of the forces shaping our viral landscape” on April 23rd @5:30PM.
