The National Seminar of Model Architecture and Urbanism Offices (SeNEMAU) is the occasion where members of EMAUs from across the country discuss, exchange experiences, and improve the model of education and university extension, where production is primarily focused on issues involving the democratization of architecture. SeNEMAU, like the EMAU itself, is an event conceived and promoted by FeNEA and has been held annually since 1997, organized by students involved with EMAUs alongside faculty advisors. The seminar program consists of activities that promote a collective experience of exchange and learning, such as presentations of work from model offices, practical workshops, lectures, roundtables, and experiences and interventions in urban spaces.

Under the theme "The Resistance of the Territory," the 7th Congress of Heritage Communities will take place on June 15, 16, and 17, 2018.

This exhibition presents an architectural photography project by architect Alejandro Gómez, which draws parallels between buildings from different eras through their geometry, using framings that aim to depict elevations, almost devoid of scale. The selected buildings were designed by prestigious 20th and 21st-century architects.

The Ibero-American Lighting Design Meeting (EILD) is a non-profit initiative led by a group of independent, active professionals. It serves as a space for reflection and the exchange of ideas among Ibero-American lighting designers, extending its influence worldwide. The spirit of the meeting promotes new ways of conveying the values of lighting design, emphasizing communication and collaboration across all disciplines related to the profession. The event began in 2010 in Valparaíso (Chile), followed by Querétaro (Mexico) in 2012, Medellín (Colombia) in 2014, and Ouro Preto (Brazil) in 2016, consistently supported by major professional lighting equipment manufacturers, associations, and national and international institutions.

The Colegio de Arquitectos invites you to enjoy a great summer night in the city featuring a selection of the best architecture-themed films. This Thursday, January 18, starting at 7:30 PM, three short films will be screened as a preview of the upcoming 4th edition of ArqFilmFest, which will take place in October 2018 at the Centro Gabriela Mistral (GAM) and the Museo de Artes Visuales (MAVI).

RhinoMAQUIA is a Rhinoceros 5.0 course for architects that, along with other program plugins, facilitates the digital modeling and documentation of both orthogonal and highly complex geometric architectural projects.
Rhinoceros 5.0 is computer-aided design and modeling software capable of working with a wide variety of formats throughout the design process, allowing users to generate digital designs and subsequently outline prototyping strategies to bring their ideas to life. The course will cover the necessary theory for students to learn and develop their own critical analysis regarding the geometry they are designing and its relationship to contemporary movements within the digital architectural world.

The eighth edition of the CINECOAR Film and Architecture Cycle is taking place, organized by the Fundación Cultural de Arquitectos de La Rioja in collaboration with the Filmoteca Rafael Azcona. As in previous editions, we aim to examine various themes related to the city and our role as citizens.

There is a growing market interest in applying energy efficiency criteria to architectural projects that also ensure interior building comfort. Lighting is a key focus, making it increasingly important to incorporate natural light—a readily available and renewable resource—to reduce energy consumption associated with artificial lighting and improve indoor environmental quality.

The 3rd International Forum on Urban Interventions: Public Space: From Citizen Action to Urban Policy is one of Latin America's most significant events focused on public space and urban interventions.

The Congress of Scientific Initiation in Architecture and Urbanism (CICAU) is designed as a space for reflection and exchange for students, faculty, and graduates of architecture and related fields. It seeks to focus on, interpret, analyze, and debate the challenges facing contemporary cities through the framework of scientific research—a practice we find lacking in higher education and one we believe must be reinforced to improve the training of future architects.

CICAU emerged from the well-established regional and national meetings of the Brazilian FeNEA (Federação Nacional de Estudantes de Arquitetura). The goal is to foster an exchange of information among students, providing insight into scientific production in each country, as well as their respective particularities, lifestyles, and approaches to architectural and urban challenges.

‘Housing the Basque Country (Vivienda Pública en Euskadi/Euskadiko Etxebizitza Publikoa). 1981-2018’ is the title of an ambitious exhibition summarizing nearly four decades of public housing policy in the Basque Country since the transfer of powers to the regional government.

Arquitectura y ciudad moderna en el sur de Chile. Memoria, territorio y proyecto is a book that originated from the "Surmoderno" seminar, "Valoración del Patrimonio Moderno en el Sur de Chile," held in Concepción in 2015. Two years later, following extensive editorial work, this volume was published to share and disseminate knowledge and reflections on the modern architecture developed in cities such as Chillán, Concepción, Talcahuano, Lota, Nacimiento, Osorno, and Punta Arenas—all of which exemplify the widespread development of this architectural style in the country.

The second title in the series presents the city as a place for gathering and play; the event will take place at Sesc Avenida Paulista and includes an educational activity. Free admission.
