Founded in 2016 by three architecture and urbanism students—Matheus Pereira, Ellen Corrêa, and Yasmim Amorim—driven by a desire to analyze urban space and engage in a deeper discussion about São Paulo's architecture and its layers, the project was born from a desire to inspire architecture and urbanism students, as well as those interested in the field, to develop a new perception of space through the observation of the city and the places we inhabit daily, which often go unnoticed despite their significance.

In a context shaped by neoliberal policies, urban design in Santiago, Chile, has been progressively limited to private, internalized spaces. Specifically, through the shopping mall model, which, rather than serving as a suburban solution, has transformed into a vehicle for developing central, pre-equipped areas. Urban shopping malls are large-scale consumption artifacts that not only aggregate a significant amount of infrastructure, programs, and services to meet daily demands, but also represent a "real" opportunity to create urban spaces with a spatial and symbolic richness unavailable elsewhere in the city. However, this complexity comes at the expense of the urban experience. Housing, understood as the center of domesticity, has lost its fundamental relationship with the city and today is merely an isolated component of urban design, the result of an undifferentiated proliferation of housing units, buildings, and blocks that serve no function other than accommodation.

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
The launch of the book ART-quitectura will take place on November 20th.

The Terrain Lab Visiting School is a 10-day research workshop held in collaboration with the Architectural Association in London and the University of Navarra. This year, it will take place at the University of Navarra School of Architecture in Pamplona from June 25 to July 5, 2018. The Lab investigates the geographic, socioeconomic, and cultural forces that shape each territory to formulate hypotheses regarding the future production of landscapes and anthropized territories.
Parque(ando) is an initiative that proposes a welcoming and participatory use of public space, in which citizens transform streets into small parks for one day through the use of furniture, art installations, cultural expressions, recreational activities, and more.
The project consists of a scientific event and a symposium involving Japanese and Chilean participants on a topic of mutual interest. Both Japan and Chile face significant natural disasters—such as climate change, earthquakes, and tsunamis—that profoundly impact their built environments, cities, urban planning, collective memory, and society. The project focuses on a specific case study: the 2010 earthquake and subsequent tsunami in the Greater Concepción area.
To celebrate its 7th anniversary, the publisher and magazine AMAG is organizing and producing the AAICO | International Congress of Architecture and Art, which will take place in the Greater Porto area during the first week of September, from the 3rd to the 8th.
In their first solo photography exhibition, the artist presents 10 works that showcase, through their own perception, the visual re-signification of building facades in Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, and Belo Horizonte. Contrasts of light and shadow create lines, shapes, and angles that appear as figures distinct from the photographed reality. The abstract result of this work establishes a connection with Brazilian modernism, particularly with the centenary of Athos Bulcão and their panels.
