“To make is to think”—a phrase we have taken from Richard Sennett’s book The Craftsman—summarizes our working system across the various projects developed for this exhibition. Architecture takes time; constructing a project can take years. It is these almost infinite moments that allow the architect to rethink their work, evolve it, sometimes contradict it, and at other times, perfect it. When we speak of architecture and ask ourselves what it is, we can recall the words of one of the great masters, Mies van der Rohe, who reminds us that “Architecture starts when you put together two bricks, carefully.” In other words, architecture begins with placing one brick next to another, but the detail lies in doing so with care.

The workshop aims to expand knowledge of audiovisual media and photography, with a focus on architecture and space. The course is developed through an exploration of the territory and RCR's architecture, combining reflection on the visual arts with practical application through creative work. The exercises are designed to awaken the senses, stimulating the creation of images that evoke the desire to touch, listen, and inhabit the space.
The workshop focuses on providing participants with a direct experience, introducing them to the territory where the work of RCR Arquitectes is rooted. The goal is to understand its relationship with the site and the landscape, while sharing and conveying an attitude toward life, architecture, and creativity by putting their working methods into practice.
Scenography creates ephemeral spaces that, due to their short lifespan, must express an intention or an idea without room for doubt. Ultimately, space expresses a way of understanding a human story.

Architecture in the City Workshop - Belo Horizonte - AAP Alternative Academic Project
The AAP (Alternative Academic Project) is the result of an interest in fostering an alternative debate regarding architecture, urban planning, and landscape. We believe that contemporary education is built upon small components with a strong emphasis on diversity and internationality. Practice as an exercise of the architectural profession, with the intent of offering intellectual freedom, is fundamental to the future of the discipline. Through this project, we seek to blur boundaries and bring people together. The AAP aims to be an organization of professionals capable of providing concrete responses to territorial transformations, serving as a critical complement to architecture schools.
