The theme of this discussion is urban mobility, posing the fundamental question: where are we headed?
The event aims to foster cross-disciplinary dialogue among law, architecture, engineering, and sociology, as well as between the public, policymakers, and academia.

By Kamy, one of the country's most respected and traditional rug retailers, will host Archathon—the largest Arch&Design workshop in the Americas—on November 10, marking its debut on Alameda Gabriel Monteiro da Silva.

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 debate regarding São Paulo's architecture and its layers, the project was born from a commitment to foster a new perception of space among architecture and urbanism students and those interested in the field. This is achieved through the observation of the city and the places we inhabit daily, which we often overlook despite their significance.

The Technological Center for Construction Innovation (CTeC), in collaboration with the Technological Development Corporation (CDT), invites you to the International Seminar: Innovating Construction, taking place on November 21 and 22 at the Chilean Chamber of Construction (CChC) auditorium.

Ideasforward is an experimental platform that seeks progressive ideas reflecting emerging issues. Ecological design, sustainable architecture, new materials, concepts, and technologies are imperative for future societies, and the participation of the entire community is essential. In an era of globalization, where communication has been dominated by the technological revolution, it is necessary to rethink cities and how humans relate to a global world, as well as to reconsider the economic, social, and cultural patterns of contemporary societies.

The Projetar.org portal regularly hosts idea competitions for students and recent graduates. These hypothetical academic exercises aim to stimulate creativity, promote professional development, and contribute to the critical growth of young professionals regarding current issues. The results serve as a showcase, highlighting proposals and facilitating the discovery of new talent.
Although the 29th architecture competition from the Projetar.org portal takes place in the context of the fire that destroyed the National Museum, the starting point of this contest is not the tragedy itself. The inspiration for addressing this delicate subject was the "Museu Nacional Vive" (National Museum Lives) campaign, launched in September of this year.
On the campaign's website, it is possible to follow the continuation of research, graduate classes, and outreach activities. With approximately 2 million items from its collection preserved, the National Museum remains among the most important museum institutions in Latin America.
In a letter sent to the presidential candidates, the Director of the National Museum, Alexander Kellner, stated that despite having lost a significant portion of its collection, the National Museum "has not lost its capacity to generate knowledge."
Although the palace that housed the National Museum is in ruins, it is evident that the people who kept it alive, even under conditions far from ideal, are more committed than ever to ensuring the institution continues to promote the country's scientific and cultural development.
In honor of the strength, resilience, and determination of every professor, student, and researcher at the National Museum/UFRJ, the Projetar.org portal proposes an academic exercise: to imagine a space dedicated to the survival of the National Museum while its permanent home is being restored.
If, as the National Museum stated, "being alive is more than surviving: it is resisting, it is fighting, it is re-existing," we could call this space, set amidst the lush nature of the Quinta da Boa Vista, the "Gallery of Re-existence."
Given the relevance and complexity of the proposed theme, the Projetar.org portal is introducing a new feature for Competition 029: allowing the formation of multidisciplinary teams, composed of students and recent graduates in architecture and other fields.
By bringing future and young professionals closer to the theme of national cultural and scientific heritage, we hope to make a small contribution to the education of Brazilian citizens and professionals, who hold the power to prevent such disasters from recurring. The Projetar.org portal also commits to donating 10% of each registration fee to the Association of Friends of the National Museum.
