The IED (Istituto Europeo di Design) will host Italian designer Gianni Cinti for the lecture "The Future of Fashion" on October 19 at 7:00 PM. The discussion is rooted in the concept that designers are crucial players in the sustainability game.

Twenty years ago, a demand from the society of Mato Grosso do Sul was met. A group of professors from the Civil Engineering program formed the inaugural faculty of the newly established Architecture and Urbanism program at UFMS. Over the years, many have contributed to this program, including faculty, staff, and students. Now, in 2019, we are launching a year of celebrations to reflect, discuss, and continue building an even better program. Our first event will take place from October 21 to 25, featuring an opening session with individuals who have shaped our history, followed by a series of workshops, lectures, and activities that mark the start of these two decades of commemoration.
Can the workspace influence people's creativity? What are the strategies for creating a culture of innovation within a company? Will machines replace humans in the office design process?

A presentation of the work of the firm Gonzalez Moix Arquitectura (Peru), featuring a conversation with its founder, Oscar Gonzalez Moix. The firm's work has been exhibited at architecture biennials in Lima, Buenos Aires, Quito, and Venice, among others. Notable accolades include awards from Peru’s National Architectural Quality Competition (2003, 2004, 2005, 2009, 2010) and the Peruvian National Architecture Biennial (2004, 2006, 2008, 2012). A drive for experimentation and new models, combined with a deep understanding of construction, defines an architecture that bridges millennia-old tradition, modernity, and contemporary innovation—creating spaces that are sensitive to their context and welcoming to their inhabitants.
Organized annually by Escola da Cidade, the Scientific Initiation Symposium has established itself since its first edition in 2009 as a prolific space for debate among students, advisors, and invited commentators regarding academic research and fundamental issues in the field of architecture and urbanism across its multiple approaches—from social housing themes to landscape discussions, from public art to critiques of modern Brazilian architecture, and from urbanism to design.
