Architecthon is a competition-experience initiative where architecture students from international universities live together for 24 hours to address an architectural challenge.

Interceramic, a leading company in the design, manufacturing, and distribution of ceramic floors, wall tiles, and installation materials—as well as the commercialization of bathroom furniture, whirlpool tubs, kitchen sinks, and faucets—is committed to promoting architecture and interior design. The company recognizes works that best reflect originality, composition, structure, harmony, conceptualization, and all attributes contributing to the realization of any architectural or interior project. With this in mind, the Interceramic Award is reinventing itself for its eighth edition with the following objectives:

A public event at Harvard GSD examines the lower sky as a site of mobility

Increasing congestion and advances in autonomous technology are set to transform how we move around our cities. Many are now looking to the sky — the third dimension — as an expansive space for new kinds of mobility. Autonomous flying vehicles, such as cargo drones and flying taxis, have the capacity to disrupt how we move goods and passengers around urban space. Responding to these real-world changes, AERIAL FUTURES: The Third Dimension examines Urban Air Mobility (UAM), asking how scalable and on-demand UAM models could reduce road traffic, pollution, accidents and the strain on existing public transport networks. Within these opportunities are also challenges to overcome: noise, community acceptance, safety, cyber security and seamless integration with existing aircraft operations.

Brick Index is a collection of named bricks and the unseen makers marks stamped by brickworks from across the UK. It celebrates the humble brick, relishing the textures, colours and graphics debossed into their ‘frogs’. This collection serves to rethink a ubiquitous material and honour the graphic stamps hidden all around us.

This book reconstructs the evolution of the content and format of the Architecture Day during the first ten years of the festival.

The Days of Architecture (DA) have over the course of ten years gone from a student project to one of the most significant events for contemporary architecture in Bosnia and Herzegovina, hosting some of the world's greatest names in the contemporary architectural scene, thus creating a recognizable spot on the map of cultural events in the region.

Book Review by Gioia C. Sawaya; Chemaly’s book offers a different attempt to reading war ruins in a Lebanese urban context. It suggests another perception of an architectural space, with the need for a built environment that encourages empathy with the user. He defines this space as a verb (an affording action) rather than a noun. The introduction of the book helps to locate the author’s main aim and frame his discourse.

The Museum of Architecture and Design is launching an open call for participation in the 26th Biennial of Design, BIO 26 – Common Knowledge, curated by Austrian design curator and cultural producer Thomas Geisler together with assistant curator Aline Lara Rezende.

Although James Blish’s “Cities in Flight” was not the first attempt to combine architecture and anti-gravity technology, it was in this book series that we can see it prevailing on an urban scale. Throughout its evolution, architecture has crawled out of caves, settled on grounds, climbed on pilotis, floated on water, stood high, and even danced. Now many argue that it is high time for it to move forward and assume some of its multi-directional and forthcoming probabilities.

The Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) is pleased to announce its 8th International Student Tall Building Design Competition. The goal of the competition is to shed new light on the meaning and value of tall buildings in modern society.

New industrial design competition on Desall.com: Falmec and Desall invite you to design new products.

Belgium's renowned architectural practice OFFICE KGDVS joins The Architecture Foundation to discuss their recent projects and urbanist design.

Registration is now open for the 2nd Regional Pre-Forum on ATHIS and University Extension.

Sidewalks, also known as public walkways, can be understood as multifunctional open spaces where a range of activities occur, from pedestrian flow to social interaction.
In this context, public walkways have significant potential to house green infrastructure solutions—such as rain gardens, bioswales, and stormwater planters—capable of providing a range of environmental services for cities. These include mitigating urban pollution (water, air, and soil), providing habitats for urban fauna, contributing to the control of stormwater runoff volume and velocity, and offering improved local microclimatic quality and thermal comfort for adjacent buildings through shading and evapotranspiration, in addition to serving as an aesthetic element.
Emerging ecological sidewalk design techniques that add value and appeal to properties are currently well-known, utilized, and proven.

The School of Architecture at Universidad Finis Terrae is launching the fourth edition of "Atraviesos Urbanos" (Urban Crossings), a series of tours designed and led by architects that provide an alternative perspective on a specific section of the city.

A month of debates on the right to the city at the Legislative Chamber of the Federal District

The Competition for preparation of preliminary urban and architectural development design for arrangement of the Kale Hill in Skopje constitutes an integral part of the project Kale – Cultural Fortress, organized by the Museum of Contemporary Art in Skopje, with the goal of encouraging the revitalization and spatial arrangement of the Kale Hill into an attractive and vibrant city attraction with various cultural, educational and recreational functions.

What would the Mies van der Rohe Pavilion look like if you could turn it into a workplace?

The goal of the 2019 Student Research Competition is to assist talented students, working in groups under the guidance of a professor, to focus on a relevant research question, and create an engaging output as a response. Research proposals should directly relate to the 2019 topic of “Sustainable Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat”. Proposals can come from any topic/discipline, including but not limited to: architecture, construction, energy issues, environmental engineering, façade design, financial & cost issues, fire & life safety, humanities, infrastructure, interiors, maintenance & cleaning, materials, MEP engineering, policy making, resource management, seismic, social aspects, structural engineering, systems development, urban planning, vertical transportation, wind engineering, etc.
