“Rethink the City: New Approaches to Global and Local Urban Challenges” is a free online course offered by the Faculty of Architecture at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) in the Netherlands, beginning May 2 of this year.

The Master’s in History and Culture of Architecture and the City addresses the development of the relationships between architecture, culture, and the city from the Renaissance to Globalization. Intertwined with processes of political, technological, and cultural change, the increasing complexity of these relationships has eroded the mythical figure of the architect as an all-encompassing artist or intellectual, giving rise to new and unexpected ways of operating within the context of material culture. Today, architecture brings together numerous niches of knowledge that distribute competencies, all vying to position themselves at the center of the debate: history, theory, technology, representation, and design constitute domains in constant friction and exchange, forming a dynamic corpus of knowledge whose active principles of impact on reality are explored in the program.

At first glance, it might seem unusual to think of an architect as a highly valued professional within certain areas of the digital sector. However, upon closer analysis, we can observe the significant similarities between architecture and digital product design, helping us understand why these professionals are becoming highly sought-after profiles among industry leaders.

"For us a book is a small building" is the title of the exhibition Fernanda Fragateiro is presenting at Galeria BAGINSKI. The title draws on a quote by British architect Alison Smithson that holds significant meaning within Fragateiro’s body of work, effectively serving as a synthesis of her artistic practice. The exhibition focuses on Robin Hood Gardens, an iconic social housing project designed by Alison and Peter Smithson, whose recent demolition—condemned by architects, artists, and critics—represents the erasure of a period defined by significant social policies in the United Kingdom.

As part of the elective course "Architectural Modes of Production: Diffusion and Criticism" and in celebration of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) Charles Jencks Award, architect and Pritzker Prize laureate Alejandro Aravena will publicly present the keynote lecture he delivered during the private ceremony in London on October 15, 2018.

Architecture, art, poetry, and literature have occasionally produced works where their boundaries blur and, for a moment, even merge. The "Gajes del Oficio" series aims to continue blurring these boundaries, encouraging this to happen more frequently and expanding the tools of each "trade."

Barrio Italia has become an opportunity to propose projects that address architecture through a contextual lens, blurring the lines between technical, conceptual, and urban aspects while treating the physical environment as a foundation for the work. With this perspective in mind, the School of Architecture at Universidad Finis Terrae will host the Urban Traverse: “Barrio Italia: Contextual Architecture in a Gentrifying Neighborhood.” The tour will run from Caupolicán to Av. Condell, visiting sites such as Estación Italia and Maison Italia, and will be led by Camilo Oliva, an architect and professor at Universidad Finis Terrae.
