We climb endless stairs to mountains made of piles of stone. There, the stairs end and paths traced between the rocks begin, until they disappear and every route becomes invisible. We are climbing the hills of San Juan de Lurigancho.

Espacio AOA will host a discussion on the project "La Luz del Cochayuyo" on Tuesday, August 6, at 7:00 PM, featuring architects Domingo Arancibia, Alberto Sato, and Guillermo Acuña.

BACKGROUND

The debate is whether Macau can continue to be a liveable city with such deficit and lack in social spaces.
The competition challenges designers to bring back these spaces that once belonged to the locals, to create new social spaces and recover the lost connection between the city and its people.
We seek proposals and designs of an alternative form of social and entertainment architecture that diverges from the existing gambling culture.

Session 255. Solemn Session, Investiture of Chapter Members, Full Members, and Honorary Members, and the 2019-2021 Board of Directors transition.

The architecture sector is currently an important field for photographers. Believing that new techniques and proper visual direction can provide a competitive edge to those interested in architectural and urban photography, Linda Laranja Fotografia is hosting the Architecture and City Photography Workshop in Florianópolis, led by Brasília-based architect and photographer Joana França.

This year, exhibitors from 11 segments will showcase solutions for residential and corporate architecture and interior design projects.

The social function of architecture and the challenges of the profession in the context of a new era will be the subject of a lecture by Rio de Janeiro native Tainá de Paula.

Japanese architecture, a global benchmark, is once again in the spotlight at Japan House São Paulo, this time with an exhibition detailing the work of Tsuyoshi Tane, a prominent Japanese architect on the current global stage. "Tsuyoshi Tane | Archaeology of the Future – Memory & Vision" runs from August 6 to October 13, 2019, and invites visitors to dive into the architect's creative project development process.

In Pixels is the new exhibition by visual artist Thammy Tales and photographer Rodrigo Albertini, curated by Chico Cortez. Regarding the selection of 16 works that make up the exhibition, the curator notes that they are “parts of the existence of these singular artists, contemporary witnesses to a plural and technological world.”

Never before have there been such fundamental uncertainties about our future. Obvious signs of climate change, a political landscape in flux, rapid advances in technology and their consequential societal changes are making us anxious about our personal life in the next decades.

What if we brought together a group of expert architects and students in the same space to talk about our city?

The Brick Industry Association (BIA) has opened its entries for the 2019 Brick in Architecture Awards—now celebrating 30 years as the nation’s leading architectural design competition featuring fired-clay brick. Entries are due by Oct. 31.

With a history of stunning, innovative and unusual design, all submissions must use clay brick as the project’s primary building material.

Every human intervention on an island – even those that interpret it as an ideal space for confinement - starts as an act of colonisation aimed at reducing the unescapable condition of insularity. Enacting the power of nomads as decolonising agents, Casting Castaways will migrate every two years from island to island across a former carceral archipelago in the Mediterranean Sea. We will seek for a pedagogy that, while suggesting future scenarios vis a vis current trends in tourism, environmental preservation and heritage, interrogates those territories to understand how and whether architecture can challenge and escape from the very ideas of incarceration and colonisation.

The Aesthetics of Prosthetics exhibition is within the framework of Pratt Institute School of Architecture’s 2019 Dean’s Lecture Series and will take place between September 19th and October 17th.

The School of Architecture will host a debate with experts in the subject of prosthetic intelligence on the same day. The debate, moderated by Ferda Kolatan, will introduce the subjects addressed at the exhibition and will be followed up by the opening reception of the exhibition.
