Speakers from Latin America and the world reflect, alongside Venezuelan architects both abroad and within Venezuela, on the exercises conducted within their educational spaces, workshops, and teaching experiences in communities and architecture schools.

We are pleased to invite you to the launch of the publication "Andar a pé eu vou: caminhos para a defesa da causa no Brasil," which brings together in-depth, inspiring content: experiences, tactics, and tools to support those who advocate for pedestrian mobility.

Ingrid Quintana presents a critical assessment of the Bauhaus centenary celebrations, highlighting unexplored aspects of the relationship between the legendary German school and Latin America: the diffuse transatlantic contacts woven through the migratory flows of masters and students, and their relevance as a historiographical category for the examination of transitional aesthetics in regional design.

What are the conceptual and technical issues that shape an exhibition design project? Who are the agents involved in the process? What are the most commonly used tools and work stages? Although rooted in the realm of architecture, the task of translating an artistic narrative into space has its own particularities.

Aimed at students and professionals interested in working on the development of exhibition architecture projects, the course offers an overview of the practice and its specificities, presented through lectures and design exercises based on real-world situations.

"Shameless Copy."

The Brazilian firm Terra e Tuma (Fernanda Sakano, Danilo Terra, Juliana Terra, and Pedro Tuma) is rooted in experimentation.

Their project for LIGA explores the concept of copying in architecture, not as a pejorative act, but as one open to creativity. Throughout their career, their projects have been exhibited at the Venice, Rotterdam, and Quito Biennials.

We know that the world is changing, and this is a moment to reinvent ourselves in the face of an unprecedented situation. The health crisis has compelled us to transform the way we live and interact today.

The College of Architects of Mexico City and the Society of Architects of Mexico invite you to their 7th International Congress, "Synchronizing Architecture," which will take place on October 1, 2020—Architects' Day—in a digital format from 9:00 AM to 8:30 PM. For this edition, the CAM-SAM is organizing the congress with the support of the International Union of Architects (UIA) and the American Institute of Architects (AIA), under the general coordination of architects Arturo and Jorge Arditti of Arditti + RDT Arquitectos. Architecture possesses an inherent, intrinsic energy capable of triggering events and deeply impacting social responses, which distinguishes it from other creative expressions. At this seventh CAM-SAM Architecture Congress, we seek to find the right balance in architecture between new adaptability in living, functionality, spatial sensitivity, and defying gravity, ensuring that spaces transcend and age with dignity. We will witness a congress where leading national and international architects present their cutting-edge projects with ecological and technological sensitivity, adapting to this new reality.
