SEMANAU – The UFERSA Architecture and Urbanism Week is an event hosted by the first public Architecture and Urbanism program in the semi-arid region, at the Ufersa Pau dos Ferros campus. Coordinated by faculty members Tamms Morais and Gabriel Leopoldino, the event’s primary objective is to connect students from a public university in the interior of Rio Grande do Norte with professionals, students, and researchers in architecture, urbanism, and related fields.
While the first issue of VAD (veredes, architecture and dissemination) focused on "the beginnings"—those origins and principles that provide, tangibly or symbolically, what seeks to exist—we now aim to broadly explore the parameters belonging to these origins. That emergence, birth, and appearance, where architecture germinates.
With limited spots available, the workshop takes place over three sessions at the {CURA} headquarters.
Do architects know how to write? Can they present their projects textually? How should one write about architectural projects? There are no exact recipes or formulas for writing well; however, literature and journalism offer insights that help in crafting clear texts.

Architects traditionally work in urban regions where economic and population growth drive demand, often leaving remote and rural areas neglected by the design professions.
