In this collection of essays, architect Josep Llinàs experiments with new formats, such as Instagram stories, answering to no one but the heroes featured in his narrative. Ever-present is the work of Josep Maria Jujol—who dents, twists, and blurs everything he touches—a body of work far removed from any Calvinist work ethic, which Llinàs links to folk wisdom and, ultimately, to the behavior of a child. Beyond Jujol, other figures emerge: from Alejandro de la Sota to José Antonio Coderch, from David Lynch to Peter Handke, from his grandson to his parents, and from there to his great-grandparents... Meanwhile, never losing his smile, he draws, cuts paper, builds models and collages, and writes stories for the sheer joy of it—his status as a septuagenarian having liberated him from work as a form of punishment—only to channel them back into his architectural practice.
From 9–15 May 2022, a new platform for architecture and urban development will be held for the first time: the Architekturwoche Basel (AWB), which is to be repeated every two years in future. Initiated by the Architektur Dialoge Foundation and organized under artistic director Chrissie Muhr, the inaugural edition of AWB 2022 addresses the theme of “Reale Räume” (Real Spaces) – examining how globalization, digitalization, migration, climate change and the pandemic affect the urban spaces around us. Featuring over 100 lectures, guided tours, workshops, exhibitions, films, concerts and performances, the programme is aimed at a broad public. The events will take place in Basel-Stadt, Basel-Landschaft and neighbouring regions of France and Germany.
At the end of 2021, Lithuanian citizenship was restored to one of the most respected international architects – Massimiliano Fuksas. To celebrate this significant event to the whole Lithuanian architecture community, Kaunas University of Technology together with Studio Fuksas are organising a remote open lecture of Massimiliano Fuksas, entitled “Architecture and Innovation”. The lecture will be held on February 10 (17:00 LT, UTC+2; 16:00 IT, UTC+1) and will be followed by a panel discussion of Mr Fuksas and colleagues from the KTU Faculty of Civil Engineering and Architecture.
The Norwegian tradition of ‘dugnad’ encourages everyone to contribute in order to achieve a common goal. It is based on a process of social relations, reciprocity and community solidarity and thus on the belief that together you are stronger than alone. The architecture firm Mad refers to ‘dugnad’ as a key to creating solutions for a sustainable future in an increasingly complex and challenging world. For Mad, architecture is also about re-evaluating, nurturing or preserving social and cultural resources that shape our built environment. These aspects can be observed exemplarily in the four projects that have been compiled for the exhibition at Aedes – among them, the timber high-rise WoHo in Berlin-Kreuzberg, which is currently under planning and is considered a social pilot project in urban development.
The Medieval city of Udaipur is a unique historical example of a settlement pattern that is a result of its topography and water systems. It forms a fine study to understand how the medieval cities in western India established a close-knit relationship with nature.
In this workshop, the participants will learn to observe and analyse the spatial structure of the city, the character of its public spaces and its correlation with topography and water. The workshop will also explore themes of community spaces, urban structures, water systems and the role of civic architecture. The workshop will entail on-field observation & documentation, followed by discussions and presentations.
Prepared with the joint cooperation of the Ministry of Culture of the Moscow Region and the JART Gallery, the project will be presented on February 1 in the new Malevich Park and will be available for visitors until March 1. White Forest is a group project by Russian artists, the works of Grigory Orekhov, Alexei Luka and the Artistic Solitude art group (Irina Korina and Olga Petrunenko, the EliKuka duet, the Icing of Architects group) will appear in a snowy forest and complement the architecture of the park with its various geometric shapes and reflective mirror surfaces
A rendering image, beautiful as it can be, is a cutout, a small sample of what it feels like to be in a place. A video rendering adds some extra action, but it still is just a predetermined visual journey from A to B, leaving the person who interacts with the rendering as just a spectator. Renderings can be much more immersive than that.
With more than 100 categories, the A' Design Award and Competition is the most important design competition in the world.

The deadline for submission is February 28, 2022 and the results will be announced to the public on May 1. Register, nominate, or submit your design here, and find more information below.
The monograph Sabbagh Arquitectos is one of those essential books that, until now, did not exist. It offers a look at the continuity of over 30 years of experience from what is arguably the largest and most prominent firm in Chile specializing in industrial, educational, facility, and service architecture. The book explores various scales that consistently intersect with the urban dimension, ultimately contributing to the cities and neighborhoods where these projects are situated.
"Dentro da Pós" offers various strategies for engagement and presents the pedagogical framework, structure, objectives, and curriculum of the lato sensu graduate program at Escola da Cidade.
Flavio Bevilacqua applies segments of Gilbert Simondon's philosophy of technology to architectural theory and design research. Consequently, this book can be viewed as the first extensive transfer of Simondon's theoretical approach to these fields. The French philosopher critiques the hylomorphic model, moving away from it to propose a "theory of individuation." The book’s central argument follows this trajectory: non-hylomorphic morphogenesis exists within architecture and design.
“Everyone knows that myths never really happened, but they are always happening. Now they continue not only through the adventures of ancient heroes, but also make their way into the ubiquitous and most popular stories of contemporary films, games, and literature.” - Olga Tokarczuk, “The Tender Narrator.” The Nobel Prize in Literature. 2019.
