Revista Contraste, an independent publication developed by undergraduate students at the Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism of the University of São Paulo (FAU-USP), announces the launch of its 5th edition, themed "Education." For this occasion, we invite everyone to participate in the debate "Educating Centers: The Architecture of Cultural Spaces in the City of São Paulo." The event is part of a series of activities organized by the magazine, addressing the theme of education through various approaches.

"Tudo é Projeto" by Joana Mendes da Rocha and Patrícia Rubano
The documentary "Tudo é Projeto," which explores the life and work of Paulo Mendes da Rocha—one of the most respected architects in Brazil and worldwide—will be screened on May 23 at 4:00 PM in the Aula Magna at the Università Iuav di Venezia. This event is an initiative of the Casa da Arquitectura in partnership with Iuav, taking place during the opening week of the 16th Venice Architecture Biennale.
DATES FOR THE SEMINAR CONSTRUCTION WEEK AND THE PARTICIPANT WEEK, RESPECTIVELY
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.
nuevosnuevos launches in Madrid on Saturday, June 23, through nuevosENCUENTROS, an initiative addressing the central theme of "making the public public" throughout 2018. During the event, experts from various disciplines related to creation, thought, research, and communication will engage in open dialogue with the public regarding current urban issues, establishing an open and horizontal relationship that allows for the sharing of experiences and reflections.
This activity is part of Biofabrication Week. November 15–21. Valdivia, Ancud, Santiago.
Biofabrication State aims to provide an overview of academic exercises on this subject conducted at the Universidad Católica and Columbia University. The event will consist of brief presentations by students from both universities and will feature a presentation by David Benjamin, an architect and professor at Columbia University's GSAPP.
The exhibition "The Place of Art: Iconic Architectural Works Dedicated to Art" will open on Thursday, June 7, at 7:30 PM at the MAC (Museum of Contemporary Art) in Parque Forestal, Santiago, Chile, and will run until June 17.
The complex, multidisciplinary challenges of the 21st century demand professionals capable of understanding problems from multiple perspectives. At the same time, they must possess solid experience in integrating top-tier technical skills with a deep understanding of the economic, cultural, and social context of technologies.
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 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.
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 Council of Architects and Urbanists of Brazil (CAU/BR), the Institute of Architects of Brazil (IAB), and CAU/SP will host the "National Seminar on Urban Policy: For More Humane, Just, and Sustainable Cities" on July 3rd and 4th. The event is free and will be held at the IAB São Paulo headquarters.
