8th Architecture and Urbanism Week: Create Yourself, City!

The Architecture and Urbanism Week (SAU) at UNIFAP is an annual event organized as a university extension initiative. It is primarily student-led, with at least one tenured faculty member serving as the director and primary liaison.
This year’s edition, VIII SAU: Create Yourself, City!, aims to present and discuss the Creative Cities Network program by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). The program seeks to foster international cooperation among cities that invest in culture and creativity as drivers of sustainable development. The theme will be explored through three tracks focused on the city of Macapá, Amapá: Creative processes in the city; Perception and memory of the city; and Sustainability and self-management practices.
For this edition, SAU is accepting submissions of academic work in three distinct categories: scientific articles, graphic works (physical models, photography, video, and sketchbooks), and posters. These will subsequently be published in the event proceedings.
Over the course of the four-day event, the organizers aim to bring together students, faculty, researchers, and professionals to discuss the theme through lectures, roundtable discussions, workshops, and networking opportunities.

TRAMA 154: Brick Architecture

Because architecture is essentially space, the language employed by architects organizes and relates it, defining its boundaries and characterizing the space itself. Interior spatial organization follows diverse patterns: sometimes emphasizing compactness, while at other times expanding or wrapping around a central void, reviving traditions, or initiating new interpretations to bring the building's massing to life. It challenges conventional functional approaches, pursues the poetics of circulation, and incorporates elements of surprise. Depending on the site, the massing may be compact or extended, adapting to the topography and either blending into or contrasting with its surroundings, yet it never ignores the landscape. Within the urban fabric, architecture may turn inward, becoming abstract, or it may strengthen its relationship with the street, seeking continuity and fostering social interaction. Light is treated beyond its functional capacity to highlight boundaries, forms, materials, textures, and colors—whether through dramatic plays of light and shadow or by filtering it indirectly to create subtle spatial atmospheres. The use of materials—particularly brick, the protagonist of these works—creatively explores their expressive and structural qualities. The goal is for architecture to maximize resources by leveraging site conditions, ensuring sustainability, utilizing new technologies, reusing materials, or prefabricating components, all while maintaining a lasting architectural language that serves as a witness to its time.

Last quarter, Tesla delivered 95,000 electric cars to customers from around the world. Needless to say, the electric car revolution is coming at a rapid pace as people around the world choose to buy an electric vehicle instead of a gas car.

The question then becomes, what will happen to all the gas stations? There are over 130,000 gas stations in the US alone and many are family-run small businesses who don't have endless resources to prepare for the coming tectonic shift.
