What will València look like in 2050? How will technology affect the built environment? How will people live in public spaces? How will mobility evolve and shape our streets? In collaboration with Las Naves and led by Non Architecture, we are seeking design professionals or creative teams with strong architectural visualization skills who are motivated to explore new perspectives for the future of València, Spain.

Marina Tabassum will share her research on the Meghna estuary and its impact on climate change coupled with a complex land inheritance system introduced by British Colonial rule that to date governs the dynamic landscape of the Ganges Delta. Marina will share the development of a modular mobile home unit to be distributed to landless families living in coastal areas.

The presentation will focus an indigenous approach to architecture that is based on a synthesis of cultural sensitivity and environmental responsibility. The purpose of the presentation is to describe a methodology to designing buildings that focuses on a holistic view of man's interconnectedness with the environment based on an Indigenous philosophical approach.

The MEDIA ARCHITECTURE BIENNALE - MAB is the world’s premier event on media architecture, urban interaction design, and urban informatics. It brings together architects, artists and designers, leading thinkers on urban design, key industry and government representatives as well as community activists.

On March 8, 2021, Simone Cadinelli Arte Contemporânea will open the exhibition "Rubble, Skins, Residue" to the public, featuring new works by artist Jeane Terra. These pieces were created using various unique techniques and processes she has developed over the past few years—including during the months of social isolation—taking as a starting point the rubble of houses in Pontal de Atafona, a beach in the northern region of Rio de Janeiro state that is being swallowed by the sea. The exhibition will occupy the entire gallery. In addition to the "dry paintings"—or "paint skins," a process she created and has since patented—and the "dry monotypes," the show will bring together sculptures, photographs, an embroidery piece, and two installations: a wall excavation and a window display facing Rua Aníbal de Mendonça in Ipanema.

The WAPW Academic Association together with the Faculty of Architecture of the Warsaw University of Technology cordially invite you to the next lecture in the "About Architecture" series organized as part of A-Academy's activities. Roger Riewe will be our guest.

According to recent studies, there are currently more than 1,750,000 active podcasts available via myriad streaming platforms. Once occupying a small niche of the media, podcasting is now thoroughly mainstream; its meteoric rise has only accelerated thanks to the solitary production and consumption of media under the social isolation brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. Co-moderated by Mitchell Akiyama and Neil Verma, Hearing Stories: Narrative Audio in Isolation invites two leading practitioners, Jana Winderen and Kaitlin Prest, to speak to what it means to create sonic art in this moment. We will discuss how sonic practices can be used to create community, to tell stories, and to address pressing political issues.

To jumpstart the mainstreaming of additive manufacturing applications in architecture & other design related fields in Nigeria, this workshop starts by highlighting state of the art examples in 3D printing round the globe. It also aims to walk participants through the unique constraints of working in challenging contexts like Nigeria's but also navigating the terrain.

The 2020 COVID-19 outbreak has deeply redefined our relationship to public spaces. Fear of transmission (both direct and indirect) has closed schools, restaurants, office buildings, and transportation hubs, and has limited access to other densely populated locations and shared spaces. We have also learned that COVID-19 primarily transmits through the spread of water droplets from infected individuals, especially in scenarios of close contact, such as prolonged indoor activities. As a result, new building regulations have been put in place that reduce the circumstances in which the disease can spread. These safety precautions include mask mandates, redesign of ventilation systems, and social distancing policies. In this article, we will focus on social distancing.

Women in Latin America play a pivotal role today in architecture and construction firms, providing a fresh and creative perspective that is essential for leading projects. At GRAPHISOFT, we recognize the impact of women in the industry; therefore, we have brought together five incredible professionals from various sectors of architecture. They will share their experiences, the challenges they have faced since the start of their careers, how the profession has evolved, the similarities and differences across regions, and how Archicad has served as a key tool in their success.

‘Palimpsest Barragan’ offers a unique opportunity to engage closely with a masterpiece of 20th-century modernist architecture. The work of architect Luis Barragán, a hidden and as-yet-unrecognized gem nestled in the paradisiacal jungle on the Pacific coast, presents itself as the ruins of an unfinished building that has faded into obscurity. Much like pre-Hispanic pyramids in Mexico, it is currently in a state of progressive decay.

Highlighting Alberto Campo Baeza's work is not just an act of recognition for the quality of his professional output, but also a matter of justice regarding his dedication across various facets of the discipline, particularly in teaching. In this sense, this book is not intended to showcase his projects and built works, but rather to share a series of reflections and some of his teachings. It is a modest, personal perspective, filled with records, experiences, and data that I have meticulously gathered over the years.
