Following the great success of the first three editions held from 2019 to 2021, the idea of a fourth ScaLIurbani 2022 event was launched to confirm the annual frequency of this important cultural event. The theme chosen for next year is Mediterranean Connections or the Connections created by the Mediterranean and, with them, ties, relationships, Architectures and stories related to it; a theme that has as its objective the involvement of the countries bordering our sea through their projects and achievements as well as with the free interpretation of the relationship between the sea and its borders; the relationship between Architecture, City, Territory and Culture of the various countries, therefore, becomes a trait d’union between the various places in the Mediterranean basin.
Mediterranean as a bridge between East and West, between South and North; a basin that is not only a geographical place but also a changing collective imagination that contributes to influencing the perception of space in the various countries bordering it. Architecture becomes that element and that bond that can also be shared through the diversity of places in the Mediterranean which are sometimes represented as similar or close, while others, on the other hand, as aliens and strangers due to social, cultural and economic differences.
The event, of international scope, aims to be (as in previous editions) an opportunity to return to express, through Architecture, the strong desire for the quality of the space in which we live, a wealth to be protected, to be renewed and create.

The dynamic Brazilian design scene has seen a prominent trend in recent years: self-production in wood, where designers develop and craft their creations by hand in their own workshops. The book Ricardo Graham Ferreira: O Ebanista offers an intimate look at the work of one of this generation's leading figures, encouraging readers to form their own formal and emotional interpretations through a collection of records and testimonials from those who are part of the designer's life. Rather than providing a chronological or technical guide, the intention is to let the gaze wander, discovering what attracts and moves the reader. For this very reason, it was essential that each piece be presented within its creative context—the workshop—so that the narrative extends between the work and its environment, between inspiration and result. It is a reflection of the symbiosis between body and raw material, the union of distinct lives and cycles in an object meant to endure.
