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.

“ATLAS of emerging practices” is a publication that provides an overview of the state of the architect’s profession, analysing themes, trends, projects, and methods that characterise the professional practice, and understanding this discipline through the research carried out with a selection of emerging architectural practices in the European territory.

Álvaro Siza was born in 1933, on the same year that the Bauhaus closed its doors. He is perhaps the last living modernist or, at the very least, the most significant voice to carry out the unfinished modernist project all the way into the 21st century. 'Siza – Unseen & Unknown' showcases this continuity through 100 sketches, as well as its contradictions. These drawings are from his most personal archive, in addition to small collections of close friends and family. Hence, they focus not only on the professional legacy but also on the familial one, where Maria Antónia Siza (1940–1973) takes centre stage. His wife will draw him, he will draw her and the loving embrace of the human body will be transversal to architecture, art, life. In many ways, the Bernini folds of Maria Antónia’s clothes and hair develop in Siza’s own ink lines and this anthropomorphic research goes on long after her death at just thirty two years old. Those bodies will grow increasingly more abstract, like the Venus de Milo, losing its limbs and becoming something more.

The Competition “inHAUS LAB – Design your modular house” is an initiative of Casas inHAUS that was created to promote creativity and innovation in Architecture. It aims to promote new ways of doing architecture among students and recent graduates from all architecture colleges and other related disciplines, rewarding those who stand out for their creativity in the search for new modular housing solutions.

The 2019 "Innovative Application Competition for Global Additive Manufacturing" is sponsored by the People's Government of Fengtai District of Beijing Municipality and the Beijing Municipal Commission of Science and Technology. Under the theme of IN(3D) NOVATION, the competition will feature the scaled application and industrialization prospect of 3D printing in six fields, aerospace engineering, automotive design and manufacturing, digital orthopedics, urban landscape and architecture, consumer goods upgrades - shoes, and the museum cultural innovation. Last year, we hosted the 1st Innovative Application Competition for Global Additive Manufacturing successfully and 36 international teams demonstrated the technological innovation of 3D printing in four application fields.
