Emilio Ambasz: Architecture Toward Nature

Starting November 13, the Museu de Arte Indígena (MAI) in Curitiba will host the exhibition Bancos Indígenas do Brasil (Indigenous Seats of Brazil), which features 38 pieces from the BEI collection, a documentary on the production process with artist testimonials, and a series of debates on Indigenous art. The seats were crafted by peoples from various regions of the upper and lower Xingu, the southern Amazon, the Midwest, northern Pará, the Guianas, and the northwestern Amazon. The exhibition is free to the public and will run until February 11.

The spring edition of the series focuses on "scale" in architecture. Everything is a matter of "scale." Whether as a projective tool or a universal system of measurement and comprehension, scale permeates the discipline at different moments and in different ways. From the relationship between a project and its context to issues of representation, to speak of scale is to speak of architecture. This edition of the Architectural Culture Lecture Series [CCCA] explores various practices and projects to delve into its extraordinary richness.

Architects, the 2018 State Meeting of Architects and Urban Planners (EEAU) is coming up. Organized by SASP, this year's event is themed "New Perspectives for the Practice of Architects and Urban Planners."

On January 31, the book Opera Chillana Digesta, recently published by Editorial Fisuras, will be presented at Casa de América in Madrid.

Opera Chillana Digesta is a large-format portfolio written and illustrated by Juan Borchers in early 1964. It is one of the most valuable Borchers manuscripts preserved in the Original Archives of the Faculty of Architecture at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. In this manuscript, Borchers aims to synthesize the intellectual background of the project for the Cooperativa Eléctrica de Chillán building, which was nearing completion at the time. It is written in simple language—at least in comparison to other texts by Borchers—and is accompanied by beautiful drawings. Beyond presenting the architectural concept behind the project, Borchers provides insights into how this concept is embodied in the work. Among the many topics covered, the Borcherian idea of "act" and a theory of form embodied in his concept of "bastones" (staffs), conceived as differences between magnitudes, stand out.
