Today, the majority of people in the developed and developing world live either in cities that are the legacy of colonialism, capitalism, and other patriarchal structures, or in landscapes drawn and redrawn by the enterprises of colonial and corporate expansion. Given the magnitude of resources and capital needed to bring architectural design into fruition, the values and objectives of institutional stakeholders will inevitably continue to shape architecture. In other words, the built environment is never apolitical; it is persistently fashioned as a socioeconomic artifact.

The field of Design is defined by the areas where design process can be applied: architecture, urban space, clothing, furniture, consumer products, printed materials, digital interfaces, social structures, websites etc. But design encompasses much more than form and function. Design is not a being, but an event, it is not a thing but an impact.
Urban Chair is a design competition with the aim of developing innovative and interactive prototypes for seaters/benches/modules that can be placed in a park, street, plaza or any other kind of outdoor socio-urban zone. Urban furniture is the link between a public space and the people encapsulated within. Community seaters are the catalyst for public interaction as they create a setting for sitting, resting and other similar activities. They are responsible for drawing people together and starting the process of interaction and dialogue.

Open House Madrid announces the 2nd edition of the City Awards, which recognize the most innovative, social, and engaged proposals that will shape the future of cities.
Open House Madrid is an architecture and city festival that, over the course of a weekend, offers free access to dozens of buildings that are usually closed to the public.
For 2020, Open House Madrid has designed a Special Edition that, under the theme "Rediscover Madrid," will focus on the city as a benchmark for architecture and design. The city's most unique spaces will open their doors through small-group in-person tours and virtual visits. The program ranges from classic and historic buildings to contemporary architecture and some of the most renowned architecture firms, where the public can learn firsthand about the latest developments and the design process behind the buildings that surround us.
The event is titled DigitalFUTURES. It will feature a series of lectures by distinguished architects and engaging architecture and design workshops focused on bio-design, AI, VR, and AR, led by faculty from the AA School, UCL Bartlett, ETH Zurich, ICD Stuttgart, Harvard GSD, UMichigan, UPenn, UCLA, SCI-Arc, Clemson, FIU, FAU, SUTD, RMIT, Angewandte, IAAC, CITA, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, NYU Shanghai, Tongji University, Southeast University, Code-It, Archi-Union, and Zaha Hadid Architects, among others.
Time moves slowly in architecture. While the technological, financial, transport, and commercial industries of the world evolve at an unprecedented, exponential rate, the evolution of cities themselves is not keeping pace. While everyday commodities, from phones to cars to banking systems, change before our eyes, we continue to live and work in buildings designed for a past era, and depend on urban infrastructures long past their capacities.
