The Pintuco – SCA Antioquia Scholarship is a program for architects and designers in Colombia and across Latin America who are interested in enhancing the spatial quality of residential spaces through interior design. The scholarship covers 100% of the tuition for the SCA-Antioquia interior architecture diploma program.

Submissions for the Buenos Aires International Architecture Biennial 2022 Award are open until Wednesday, August 10.

The selection process has begun for the construction of a temporary architectural installation as part of the second Young Architects Festival (YAF_CONSTRUCTO), to be held in 2023. The first edition of the festival took place at the Ruinas de Huanchaca Museum in Antofagasta in 2022.

"Baldosas en Valparaíso, oficio y patrimonio" [Tiles in Valparaíso: Craft and Heritage] is a research project aimed at safeguarding the craft of hydraulic tiles—a trade with over a century of tradition in the Valparaíso Region, utilizing an artisanal technique that has remained unchanged for over 150 years of global production.

This Saturday, August 6, at 7:00 PM, the Bruther (Stéphanie Bru, Alexandre Theriot) conference will take place, organized by the Center for Studies of Contemporary Architecture (CEAC) at the Universidad Torcuato Di Tella, with an introduction by Marcelo Faiden.

Registration is now open for the 15th cohort of the Cities Specialization - Strategic Management of Urban Territory, a program focused on the continuing education of professionals working in fields related to urban planning and management. The course develops the skills necessary for providing consulting services and for the development and implementation of territorial management projects. Beyond the fundamental topics of Territorial Planning and Urban Management, the course is continuously updated to incorporate contemporary themes such as Smart Cities, environmental issues and Sustainable Cities, and Public Policy and Fundraising.
The program features the excellence of the Unisinos faculty, alongside guest lecturers with recognized professional expertise and academic and/or professional experience in these fields.

We live in a world immersed in images and their representations. We carry devices that show us the world in real time and locate us through our movements and desires with every application we navigate. In a world saturated with data, yet simultaneously filled with increasingly complex concrete realities, critical cartography reveals new visions and versions of the world we inhabit. It constructs an alternative atlas of ongoing and projective dynamics, challenging us to consider what spaces we are designing in the face of complex challenges across different spatial scales—climate change, violence, migration, extraction, and financial flows. Critical cartography is concerned with crossing, analyzing, and synthesizing data to make information more accessible and intelligible; manifesting complex systems where the human element is not the only priority, thus allowing us to think about nature on a different scale; and mediating participatory processes to visualize and measure social conflicts and inequalities within their spatial context.
Maps are not innocent, neutral, or objective. As critical tools, they present—and represent—the planet through different lenses, providing a framework to intervene in and construct new worlds. As we participate in the construction and production of the spaces we inhabit, architects, urbanists, landscape architects, and designers find that critical cartography reveals different narratives and descriptions to us.
This raises the following questions:
What role has mapping and cartography played in the construction of social space?
How do critical cartographies influence us as producers of the spaces we inhabit?
How can we leverage critical cartography as a design tool to understand, interpret, and project space?
The Faculty of Architecture at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) invites you to the colloquium "Cartography: A Critical Tool for Design," where these questions will be addressed through the presentation of various approaches to emerging cartographies. The event will showcase work from diverse actors involved in mapping and cartography through their research, practical methodologies, and field experiences in mapping processes, iconographic design, and atlas development.
Discussions will range from big data analysis to participatory cartography; from methods based on geographic information systems to entirely analog explorations; and from everyday urban narratives to speculations on new utopias.
The presentations are aimed at professionals, faculty, and students involved in the design and production of the urban and social spaces we inhabit, with the goal of exploring cartography and the mapping process as a critical tool for design.

"City quarters are the largest element or part of the city, viewed as a two-dimensional element, in which the observer enters as in something new, because he knows that that urban element has a special character." – Kevin A Lynch

Archstorming’s new competition takes us to Mozambique, a country marked by a great number of long-lasting challenges. Although there has been a substantive increase in the household income, over two-thirds of the population still live below the poverty line.
This Sub-Saharan Africa country is ranked 139th out of 159 countries on the UNDP’s Gender Inequality Index. Women are exposed to threats of diseases, discrimination and violence.
Around 94% of girls in Mozambique enroll in primary school, but despite this high number, only 11% of girls continue to study in secondary schools. As girls grow older, they are met by an increasing domestic workload and more responsibilities. Many girls have no choice but to stay at home to do chores or work to help their families. Teen pregnancies prove to be a major reason for girls dropping out of school early. 30 to 40 percent of girls are pregnant before they turn 18 years old. Taking care of a child, working and performing household chores can be overbearing and leave these girls no time for school.

INTRODUCTION
Contemporary architecture has started to receive more accusations of emotional coldness, and restrictive aesthetics, distanced from humans and life (Pallasmaa, 2015).
An essential solution to improve the quality of life is to reconnect architecture with emotions and feelings. Architecture is the main element of our environment. Architecture has an impact on emotions followed by behaviour. As the architectural space changes, humans act, think, and feel differently. It is important to architect human emotions of positivity, to create an environment that reduces negative emotions.

Start-up operating in the proptech sector seeks co-founder.
We are looking for, although not mandatory, those who have architecture, engineering, and proptech skills and feel up to being our Specifiers.
No capital is required to be invested in the start-up; what we ask is that you devote your time and energy for the project to be successful and your commitment to creating value, wealth, and prosperity; in this way, funding will not be slow in coming.

Volume Zero Architecture Competitions invites each one of you to participate in our 18th edition of architecture competitions, THE EXTREME HABITAT 2022 ARCHITECTURE COMPETITION. The competition invites both students and individuals across various professional streams who believe in the mission of creating a self-sustainable off-the-grid dwelling amongst nature. We encourage you to come up with a ground breaking proposal and create your mark in the field of architecture.
