What would we like our city to look like? Is neuroarchitecture an essential factor in designing healthier, more productive, and more pleasant spaces for people? These are just a few of the questions to be addressed at the 9th International Architecture and Design Fair, 100 Showrooms, which returns to Espacio Riesco in Santiago, Chile, in 2023 to discuss and showcase current market offerings, as well as technologies and innovations in architecture, design, and interior design.
Collaboration serves as a cornerstone of Building Information Modeling (BIM). By uniting clients and design teams on a unified platform, we can foster more efficient communication, ultimately enhancing design outcomes and guaranteeing fast project completion. Consequently, real-time multi-user collaboration (akin to Figma) represents a crucial advancement for the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry.
Snaptrude facilitates this seamless collaboration between design teams and clients in a wide range of formats, including AutoCAD drawings, SketchUp models, PDFs, and images. Moreover, users can easily exchange design models between Revit and Snaptrude through a bi-directional linking feature, streamlining the entire design process.
The "The Work of Others" series is organized by the Center for Studies in Contemporary Architecture at Torcuato Di Tella University.
For this session, Ricardo Fernández Rojas will introduce Ignacio Montaldo, founder of the Buenos Aires-based architecture firm moarqs.
The city of Alicante, the provincial capital and the fifth most populous city in Spain, boasts a privileged climate, an exceptional location, magnificent infrastructure, and extraordinary connectivity. With its airport—the fifth busiest in Spain by passenger volume—and its high-speed rail connection to Madrid, the city is a continuously developing technological and service hub that also hosts the European Union Intellectual Property Office, the registry for EU trademarks and designs.
On the occasion of the anniversary exhibition of the Tchoban Foundation Museum for Architectural Drawing in Berlin, Sir Peter Cook, Mikkel Frost, Jean-Louis Cohen, Sergei Tchoban and the show’s curator Eva-Maria Barkhofen will discuss architectural drawing through the ages and its artistic role in the design process with moderator Natascha Meuser.
To recognize the sustained efforts of thousands of individuals and organizations working within the public and private sectors, as well as citizen movements, on high-impact initiatives that benefit the country's cities, Lima Cómo Vamos is launching the call for entries for the 5th City Award for Urban Leadership.
Concepting is all about the early stages of the design process. A process where architects need to explore, think, make, create and express. It is not a linear process with a defined start and end point but rather a circular/iterative process. It involves testing and rejecting. Sometimes an entire concept will be 'thrown away', while at other times, the architect will keep and discard parts and continue to evolve.
The work of lead architects is essential during the concepting stage, where their experience and vision allow them to set the project's parameters and overall design intent. By enabling architects to spend more time in this stage, with more data and feedback, Spaces contributes to creating better project outcomes and architects who can spend more time doing what they do best and enjoy the most.
The European Cultural Centre (ECC) is pleased to present the sixth edition of its extensive biennial architecture exhibition titled Time Space Existence. This year the group show stands on the notion that our home, our surroundings, and our planet are under pressure, urging us to work together to explore a sustainable way forward. A total of 217 projects will be presented from the 20th of May until the 26th of November, 2023, at Palazzo Bembo, Palazzo Mora and the Marinaressa Gardens, in the heart of Venice, Italy.
In light of the highly contentious revision process of Porto Alegre’s Master Plan, the sixth edition of this micro-walking festival will focus on "the effects of a Master Plan on daily life." We believe it is urgent to bring the public closer to this crucial debate, opening up different fronts of resistance—both in legal and administrative spheres and in the social field—to renegotiate a desirable city, far beyond the neoliberal, consumption-oriented, and individualistic model that sectors of the public administration and the private sector seek to impose upon us.
Call for Projects - Insurgent Experiences

On May 18 at 7:00 PM, Arquitectura en Corto invites you to the Fundación Arquia in Madrid (Tutor, 16) for the screening of “A low carbon future for China’s furnace cities,” a documentary about an international research group’s project. The initiative proposes intervening in China’s massive existing building stock by installing a passive system that captures high-altitude air currents and channels them into homes to improve thermal comfort.
An element of nature characterized by varied textures, distinct tones, and diverse compositions, Earth evokes our origins as a symbol of existence. Firm and consistent, this force represents the solidification of particles into rock formations, precious stones, and structures over time. This serves as the starting point and theme for the eleventh edition of MADE – Mercado Arte e Design. For the second time, the event will be held at the new Complexo Pacaembu, running concurrently with the ArPa art fair from May 31 to June 4, 2023.
The Growarq Week is an event dedicated to architects, engineers, designers, and students looking to revolutionize their design process through a methodology that combines two software programs: Revit and Lumion. The event will take place entirely online on May 22, 23, and 24, 2023, at 7:00 PM each day.
Mariana Bunn Architecture and Accessibility will host a conversation with Rodrigo Lima this coming Sunday, May 14—Mother's Day—as part of her series, "Accessibility from North to South: All the Voices of Brazil."
