Slow living is a trend inspired by growing interests in mindfulness and sustainability – and our growing cultural need to escape from the negative effects of fast-paced digital living and high consumption. Yet how exactly can the design of our interior and exterior spaces interpret this trend and help us slow down?

Since the publication of "Popular Overflow and the Crisis of the State: The New Face of Peru in the 1980s," the ideas presented by José Matos Mar have been fundamental to understanding 20th-century Peru. Beyond its academic value and conceptual argumentation, "popular overflow" became a reference framework that accompanied and shaped public debates and much of the academic analysis regarding rural-to-urban migration, the explosion of the informal economy, the accelerated expansion of cities through informal settlements, and the new urban culture during the second half of the 20th century. These processes, grouped and partially interpreted under the label of "popular overflow," have defined the urban reality of contemporary Peru.

NAPOLI SUPER MODERN
Everyone seems ‘to know’ Naples, even those who have never been there: its setting, its sounds, its people, its tastes, its informality and, not least, its stories, shaped by the fervour with which the inhabitants live this city. As numerous as these narratives are reproduced in literature, music, or film, countless stories about eras, styles, and uses also overlap in the city's architecture. To avoid being drawn in by stereotypes, guides are needed to decipher this delightful cacophony.

On behalf of the Ministry of Culture, it is our pleasure to share with you one of the recent and most ambitious initiatives of the Albanian government: "Edition I" of the International Competition "Art in Public Spaces" for the year 2022.
The International Competition "Art in Public Spaces" invites Albanian and foreign artists to share and compete through their projects for 18 different public locations within the territory of the Republic of Albania. This call aims the artistic and urban requalification of the chosen spaces in order to give value to local identity by supporting the independent artistic scene through the spirit of fine arts education. It is central to our mission to involve the younger generations by creating a synergy between the location, the community and artists.
We hope that this initiative will engage not only independent stage artists, but also architects, urban planners, constructive-electrical engineers, etc.
