Lima has many more sunny days than its inhabitants let on. The urban layout of its historic center is the most Cartesian in South America, yet migration has generated an informal, heterodox, and radical periphery. Its society lives in a state of constant commercial frenzy, while maintaining the continent's oldest traditions. While its best-known architecture is viceregal and republican, pre-Columbian ruins are scattered throughout the city.
The 17th edition of the "From Territory to Detail" International Architecture Seminar serves as a space for dialogue and reflection, bringing together students, academics, and professionals alongside renowned Latin American architects.

This book delves into the architectural heritage of public housing developed in Hong Kong between the 1950s and the 1980s. Embracing the modernist architectural approach, the city initiated mass housing projects that redefined urban living. Towering structures emerged to meet the housing needs of nearly three million residents, resulting in one of the world’s most futuristic and densely populated urban landscapes.
Through captivating photographs and engaging narratives, the first half of Concrete Hong Kong offers a glimpse into the housing estates constructed during the second half of the 20th century, showcasing a variety of structures, including the cruciform Shun On Estate, the vibrant Choi Hung Estate, and the brutalist Po Lai Court. The second half of the book immerses readers in a hands-on experience, featuring six pre-cut and pre-folded models ready to be pressed out and assembled, making this book a must-have for anyone seeking to uncover the hidden stories behind Hong Kong’s concrete jungles.

re:arc institute invites you to join the second iteration of their biannual symposium program dedicated to exploring the architectures of planetary well-being, which we understand as ongoing practices of custodianship and care towards our socio-ecological environments. Architectures of planetary well-being offer an approach to understanding the frameworks that connect these systems, in turn allowing us to imagine the relational change needed to move beyond extractive paradigms.
On November 16, the University of Santiago de Chile (USACH) will award an honorary doctorate to architect and 2019 National Architecture Prize recipient Miguel Lawner Steiman, in recognition of his distinguished career and commitment to social housing.
Today, most architects are used to the complex workflow of using multiple tools during the design process. These traditional legacy tools can be bulky and slow, hamper creativity, and often do not talk to each other nor let architects collaborate with their teams. This limits their ability to design, as they spend most of their time getting 3D models BIM-ready.
Snaptrude is aiming to solve these issues by establishing itself as a powerful, browser-based, collaborative 3D design tool. It combines smart, parametric modeling, live building information, easy real-time collaboration and strong interoperability with BIM tools like Revit. Below, a comprehensive list of how these features can make 3D modeling easier.

Collaboration challenges happen in any construction project; with so many stakeholders and disciplines needing to be heard, agreeing on something and making it happen can be mired in delays, misalignment, and frustration. For architects, one of the greatest challenges involves dealing with inconsistent or lengthy inter-team workflow processes, overburdened staff and worries over litigation risks. It results in duplications, needless delays, and unclear communications, all of which risk the most important asset any architecture firm has: its reputation.
Public art is part of our history, our culture, and our collective memory. It reflects and reveals our society, adding meaning to our cities. As artists respond to our times, they project their inner vision onto the outside world, creating a chronicle of our public experience.
