As the world is continuously transforming and expanding, the amount of data and information created every day is also increasing constantly. Human intellect today is expected to evolve at the same rate as our world to continue our journey into the future. Despite all the information, reading and self-learning remain the most powerful tools available to mankind to consume knowledge. Learning bolsters awareness, exposure, and productivity, which in turn results in development.
On March 15, 2023, at 7:00 PM, Anita Schwartz Galeria de Arte will open the exhibition "Tempo-Matéria" (Time-Matter), featuring approximately 14 new, previously unseen paintings by Rio de Janeiro-based artist Dudu Garcia. The works belong to the 2023 "RA 143" series, a title that references the address of the artist's studio on Avenida Rodrigues Alves, in Rio de Janeiro's port district.
BOOMSPDESIGN, an event part of DW!, will take place at one of the city's most iconic landmarks: the Copan Building. On March 13, Thiago Rodrigues, partner and architect at Superlimão, will participate in a thematic panel to discuss the relevance and challenges of retrofit projects. Joining Thiago in the discussion are Beto Cocenza (creator of BOOMSPDESIGN) and Maxime Barkatz, founder of Ilion Partners, a real estate investment fund focused on building revitalization.
In the design exhibition area, new pieces designed by Superlimão for Amazônia Móveis will be on display. These include four examples of the Cadeira n.6, part of an outdoor furniture collection created by the firm that features durable, lightweight, and versatile pieces.
This year's DW! will feature the launch of the Satélite lamp, created by Superlimão for Luxion Iluminação. Inspired by space exploration devices, the design blends the essential with the unexpected, pairing indirect lighting—which adds comfort to any environment—with an articulated body that allows for endless lighting configurations.
Participants are crucial to the success of the MEDS Workshop, bringing diverse strengths and knowledge from their study and work experiences. They come from various countries and are united by their passion for creation and eagerness to learn. Participants choose a project to work on, contributing to its development and completion. During the two-week workshop, each team, guided by their tutor, constructs the design, documents their work, and fosters a strong and fun team spirit. Alongside the project work, various entertaining events and activities are organized by the hosting team.
The 6th annual 1.5 °C Symposium on Climate Change challenges our industry to explore the power of beauty in sustainable design to bridge the practicality of building construction with our desire to live in harmony with the natural world. There has been a paradigm shift that beauty is only a consideration of formal aesthetics; true beauty in architecture must inherently be grounded in an integration of physical form with community connection, livability, equity, resilience, and adaptability.
New Horizons: Through Darkness comes Light showcases the the Perth-based émigré Iwan Iwanoff alongside a collective chorus of artists, designers, architects and creatives of European origin and education who practiced in Melbourne. Explore a wealth of exhibition materials including archival drawings, interviews, print media, 3D models and film that demonstrate how these practitioners explored new horizons and created prolific legacies.
Join The University of Texas at Austin School of Architecture for a lecture with renowned artist and MacArthur Fellow Jorge Pardo, whose work explores the intersection of contemporary painting, design, sculpture, and architecture. The lecture will be followed by an on-stage conversation with Program Director for Interior Design, Igor Siddiqui. Free and open to the public.
New educational offer in sustainable spatial development & invitation to test:
“Making cities fit for Green Deal Development – Impact Analysis”
A team of Austrian and Bulgarian urban development, impact (focus GreenDeal) and IT experts is elaborating a training to strengthen the green skills of urban and rural development staff, including decision makers and investors. On 31.3.2023, 4pm CET the next pilot training on impact analysis will take place – free of charge and online.
In this talk, Ken Shuttleworth will discuss the art and power of communicating the design process through architectural drawing.
Nara Roesler Rio de Janeiro is pleased to open its 2023 season with the exhibition "Córte," by the celebrated artist Lucia Koch, starting March 16, 2023. The exhibition will feature unpublished works from the "Fundos" series, one of the most iconic in her production, in which she photographs the interiors of empty packaging used to store various products. When enlarged to human scale, these become architectural spaces that interact with the exhibition's path, creating surprising perspectives for the public.
German-based architect Matthias Sauerbauch will present a lecture addressing how his design firm has shifted its thinking in the context of ever-increasing climate awareness. Strategies from reduction of CO2 emissions through to computerised building management systems will be explored.
Layered Landscapes is a collection of essays and photographs of our beautiful world from just outside our homes all the way to the heavens. The book has introductions by Michael Webb (architecture writer) and Craig Krull (gallerist). Craig Krull aptly points out that Okun’s photographs are a “reconstructed harmony into what we believed to be a ‘real’ landscape.” He writes that “her work has always defined the point that landscapes do not exist in nature, but only in our minds.” Okun’s artwork is a mixture of multiple layers that present a memory of the places she has visited on her many travels. The photographs are as poetic as the essays. Griff Rhys Jones (writer, actor, presenter) explores the color blue. Kathy Lette (author) becomes a cloud on an Australian beach. Thea Musgrave (composer) explains a tempest in musical notes. Tania Compton (garden designer) talks about meadows balancing wild and formal gardens. Caleb Leech (landscape Gardener) writes about medieval gardens. Annie Gatti (garden writer) and Steve Reich (writer and producer) both talk about happiness in gardening. James Forrest (writer) climbs mountains to become calmer. Richard Sparks (writer, director) and Lee Holdridge (Composer) discuss Okun’s projected design for opera. Layered Landscapes is a meditation on our earthly desires.
During the three decades following the Second World War, and before the advent of personal computers, government investment in university research in North America and the UK funded multidisciplinary projects to investigate the use of computers for manufacturing and design. Designing the Computational Image, Imagining Computational Design explores this period of remarkable inventiveness, and traces its repercussions on architecture and other creative fields through a selection of computational designers working today. Situating contemporary expressions of design in relation to broader historical, disciplinary, and technical frames, the book showcases the confluence, during the second half of the twentieth century, of publicly funded technical innovations in software, geometry, and hardware with a cultural imaginary of design endowing computer-generated images with both geometric plasticity and a new type of agency as operative design artifacts.
