The aim of the open sketch design competition is to obtain high-quality, architecturally elaborate and economically justified solutions for the spatial development vision and the intent of construction of new buildings as part of Stage 1 in Riga, Latvia, at Daugavgrīvas iela 31 in the territory owned by SIA “DG31” by means of a creative rivalry, rational use of funds and free competition between participants.

Description via Amazon. Mediating Environments examines fundamental and radical environmental conditions in the Arctic and provides a spectrum of innovative design approaches and spatial outcomes. Climate organizes and sustains a broad range of activities in the Arctic, and it will dictate the future transformations in northern urban landscapes and their metabolic operations. As such, arctic urbanism must take into account the varied nuances of weather phenomena that are deeply engrained in everyday living practices and biophysical fabrics.

The 13th International Architecture Biennial of São Paulo centers its 2022 edition on the theme of RECONSTRUCTION. The premise involves rebuilding, recasting, and renewing the relationships between social groups and their domestic spaces, between citizens and public spaces, and the personal and professional networks that unfold in both confined and collective spaces during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.
The typology of the architect's population is changing with a decrease in the average age of practitioners. Each year, hundreds of young laureates, mainly from national universities are joining the job market and the interest in architectural patrimony is perceptibly on the rise.

The Multi-Skilled Designer presents and analyzes different approaches to contemporary architectural design and interprets them through the theory of multiple intelligences. The book establishes a systematic framework that uses the lens of cognitive psychology and developments in psychometric and brain research to analyze the unique cognitive thought processes of architectural designers and compiles design projects that could serve as a pedagogical companion for the reader. The book is aimed at design practitioners and students interested in examining their own thinking styles as well as those involved in design cognition research.
