After months of rigorous compilation and editing, the BIALIMA 2021 CATALOG is now a reality.

“The Ravages of War: My Heartfelt Account” is the new book by architect Marta Miret Rodríguez. It is an account written with the emotions stirred by the war in Ukraine—a country she knows well. Through her professional work as an architect, she lived there and experienced a profound humanistic and architectural connection. This experience enabled her to put her feelings into words, conveying the impact of this harrowing war and what it has awakened within her.

This book compiles reflections from four academics from various national universities on the city, urbanism, public space, mobility, and transportation. It is the product of "Conversations by the Wayside," a series of interviews developed by Corporación Pedaleable in collaboration with Ediciones de Arquitectura in response to the global COVID-19 pandemic. Currently, literature on sustainable mobility and urban planning from everyday, interdisciplinary perspectives remains scarce and under-disseminated. This is what motivated us to reach out to various stakeholders in academia, public policy, and urban practice to discuss and exchange ideas regarding the issues surrounding these concepts.

rita_ magazine is now accepting academic paper submissions for its upcoming 19th issue. The call is open to faculty, graduate students, and professionals with a master's or doctoral degree, and submissions may be in either Spanish or Portuguese.

For centuries, architecture has been one of the most publicly discussed topics by architects and users or inhabitants, as well as by critics, theorists, historians, and writers. This book provides an overview of these discussions as they have unfolded in the Western world through four thematic paths: housing, society, history, and art.

Following the compilation 'Cada tanto aparece un perro que habla y otros ensayos' (Puente Editores, Barcelona, 2018), Smiljan Radić has continued to write short texts as an activity parallel to his professional practice as an architect.

Paulo Tavares’s work explores the potential of architectural archaeology, imagery, and fieldwork conducted alongside communities to reveal and reconstruct historical processes of violence against both human and non-human populations and the environment.

On Saturday, November 19, at 5:00 PM, the Institute of Architects of Brazil – São Paulo Department (IABsp) will open the exhibition "Black Widow in Motion," featuring audiovisual art installations and projections of historical images of the iconic work by American sculptor Alexander Calder (1898–1976). This cultural activity is part of the implementation of the "Black Widow: Management and Conservation Plan," which will be launched at 5:30 PM on the same day and at the same location, with the presence of authors Silvio Oksman, Sabrina Fontenele, and Renato Anelli, who are also the exhibition’s curators.

This book was born from a fascination with and admiration for the architecture that shapes the landscape of the Lake Llanquihue basin. Its forms, scale, and relationship with the natural environment, as well as its construction techniques, materials, history, and the story of its colonization, are undoubtedly the primary catalysts for the efforts behind this editorial project.

‘The City and Invention: Encounters between Architecture, Anthropology, and Art’ was a research workshop curated by Adolfo Estalella and Pablo Arboleda in collaboration with Tamara Arroyo, held at the facilities of Intermediæ – Matadero Madrid Contemporary Creation Center between March and June 2022.
