Extended Call for Contributions| Charrette 8(1): Race and Space: Changing the architectural narrative

A “home” is a space that is intimate to all. Apart from being our safe haven, a home goes beyond its everyday function of being a shelter for its users and their activities; it connects with each of us on an emotional and personal level. As time evolves, the definition of “home” also keeps changing. The 21st century witnessed concepts like Airbnb, Co-Living, Smart Homes, Tiny Homes, etc. gaining popularity with both young and older generations alike sparking movements across the globe.

Architecture, civil construction, and interior design are not only vital to the country's development but also the primary consumers of Brazilian timber. These sectors can lead the way in building new businesses that employ increasingly sustainable and transparent practices.

We may live in big cities with tall buildings and wide roads, yet we still feel the need for a connection with nature.

UNAB's Campus Creativo invites you to the third session of the lecture series held as part of the Actos por el Bienestar (Acts for Well-being) workshop. The session will feature Izaskun Chinchilla.

Working smarter, not harder is the goal of every business; but in architecture, where margins can be thin, it’s an imperative. So how do firms work smarter without spending tons of time wising up? By leveraging artificial intelligence—or AI. 

Put simply, AI analyzes huge datasets to solve the historically unsolvable. AI unburdens people from time-consuming activities, like planning projects and work. Our brains aren’t wired to manage dozens of conflicting schedule dates, projects, and staff. But Mosaic—AI-powered resource management software—is here to help architects effectively plan.

Campus Creativo UNAB invites you to the second lecture held as part of the "Actos por el Bienestar" (Acts for Well-being) workshop. This session will feature Lara Costafreda (@laracostafreda), an illustrator and creative director based in Barcelona.
