Architect and urban planner Elizabeth de Portzamparc, who has been based in Paris for 50 years, has distinguished herself through large-scale projects that won major international competitions in France and China. On Thursday, March 21, 2019, she will speak at the IED (Istituto Europeo di Design) in Urca, Rio de Janeiro, on "New architecture and the architecture of connections." During the talk, she will address her key projects and the set of ethical concepts she advocates for 21st-century architecture—such as sustainable development, social connections, respect for the urban context, and flexibility for the future, which opens possibilities for subsequent interventions. On this occasion, she will also launch her monographic book, which traces her professional trajectory.
In 2017, the Architects' Associations of Bolivia and Peru held the 1st Binational Congress of Architects Peru-Bolivia: "Integrated Territories for Urban Sustainability and Good Living" in the city of Puno, Peru. The results focused on establishing common concepts for debate in both countries regarding the conditions for articulating binational projects, urban systems, and environmental factors—topics that strengthen our geographic position within the Latin American context.
Entorno Taller de Paisaje is a Mexico City-based firm currently composed of an interdisciplinary team of architects, landscape architects, and artisans dedicated to the design, development, execution, and consulting of landscape projects at architectural, urban, and regional scales. The firm also operates an experimental workshop located in one of the remaining pockets of the Xochimilco chinampa zone, a space where stone materials and vegetation from different regions of the country are collected with the goal of adapting and promoting their use over commercial ornamental vegetation.

This publication gathers a collection of texts by Santiago Cirugeda and Alice Attout, focusing on the most defining projects in the long-standing career of their studio, Recetas Urbanas. Deliberately resistant to the development of a theoretical and analytical discourse—which would inevitably be aseptic and abstract—these texts adopt the narrative form of the anecdote. This approach allows for the recounting of real, concrete "architectural actions," thereby highlighting the uniqueness of each case study and the centrality of human life in every transformation process, including those of an architectural nature.
This book presents a meticulous investigation into the architecture of the Ferias del Campo (Country Fairs), which developed between the 1950s and 1970s, creating what can now be understood as a true exhibition landscape. The complex holds immense value, both for its careful landscape design—perfectly integrated into the Casa de Campo—and for its unique buildings, which served as a true experimental laboratory for modern architecture. Architects such as Cabrero and Ruiz, along with Sota, Fisac, Aburto, Romaní, and many others, brilliantly managed to combine the bold stylistic and constructive renewal that the country required at the time with a desire to maintain a degree of continuity with vernacular architecture.
Part of the CAL (Culture. Architecture. Place) project, promoted by the Contemporary Architecture Foundation with the aim of bringing contemporary architecture to rural areas by highlighting its connection to cultural landscapes, the exhibition Blanco sobre blanco (White on White) has emerged. Composed of eleven pairs of photographs by Fernando Alda—contemporary and traditional, white, and set in Andalusia—the exhibition seeks to establish a dialogue between the images, at times clear and at others hidden, inviting the observer’s complicity.
Pablo Allard S., Dean of the Faculty of Architecture and Art at the Universidad del Desarrollo, and Flavio Sciaraffia M., Director of GeoAdaptive Chile and professor in the Master of City and Landscape program at UDD, are pleased to invite you to the launch of the book "From the South: Global Perspectives on Landscape and Territory."
El Lissitzky (1890–1941) was undoubtedly one of the most significant and multifaceted artists of the Russian avant-garde era, and perhaps the one who exerted the greatest influence on the subsequent evolution of various fields of artistic language and audiovisual communication. At the same time, however, he remains a relatively unknown and mysterious figure.
The ‘argument’ series compiles the results of the annual lecture program from the Department of Architectural Design at ETSAM. Each academic year proposes a research theme around which all public events in the cycle are developed.
The International Conference and Summer School 2019: Technopolitics in Urban Regeneration: Co-creating Public Spaces will explore different forms of co-creation, based on the premise that cities are a blend of new forms of sociability and collective action rooted in the association between humans and digital technologies. Consequently, it will discuss ways to develop urban solutions based on co-creation processes, giving a voice to the various stakeholders who can play a significant role in rebuilding public space at the local level. For co-creation to be successful, it must identify networks and engage diverse participants who can benefit from effective collaboration. This event provides opportunities to share international best practices and research, identify areas for action, and highlight their importance in city-building.
The event will be held at the ISCTE-University Institute of Lisbon, in Lisbon, Portugal, and consists of two days of conferences, four days of workshops, and a one-week design laboratory focused on real-world scenarios in the city of Cascais, Portugal.
The conference aims to contribute to the debate surrounding the use of digital technologies in bottom-up strategies for urban public space design. The conference is structured into four thematic sessions: (1) Collaboration in a Digital Condition; (2) Civic Laboratories; (3) Community Participation and Toolkits; and (4) Digital Collective Mapping. Each session will feature a keynote followed by presentations of papers selected through the open call (the deadline for paper submissions is 04/01/19; more information is available at: https://turcocreating.weebly.com/call.html).
The workshops are designed to engage all participants in an integrated collaborative learning approach to develop urban design solutions during the design laboratory, which will focus on self-built neighborhoods in the city of Cascais.
The goal is to integrate technological knowledge with design concerns, establishing inclusive strategies that connect students, researchers, citizens, and municipalities with diverse expertise, thereby enhancing their ability to navigate urban regeneration project methods and the co-creation of public spaces.
