Slum eradication programs, highway construction, the creation of strategic towns, the redesign of public spaces, the building of stadiums, and the repurposing of cities for the "World Cup celebration": these are some of the territorial and urban projects carried out during the last military dictatorship in Argentina (1976-1983) that this exhibition examines. It is a spatial reorganization carried out at all scales and across all regions of the country, which directly impacted broad sectors of the population and permanently transformed Argentine society.

Open Call for Hello Wood's 10th International Summer School and Festival for Architecture
Architects of the future use Carnival festivities to end outdated ideas
Hello Wood asks entrants to its intentional summer school to consider the topics that contemporary architecture should be answering.
The annual festivities of Carnival, see communities coming together to celebrate the end of a period of time and the beginning of a new era. Proposals should have this in mind since the summer school will say farewell to its past ten years with its own festival, culminating in a parade with the installations as the stars. Performative creations are a much greater focus for the Hello Wood summer school this year than ever before, meaning portable architecture will be an integral aspect of the successful proposals. This parade will even see past workshop leaders and participants returning to take part in the procession, which will lead down into the nearby village joining a local cultural festival with thousands of attendants of the general public.
The course—organized into three monthly modules (April, May, and June), each consisting of four classes—will examine central issues in modern art history through the works of: Paul Cézanne, Aleksander Rodchenko, Hannes Meyer, and Le Corbusier (Module 1, April); Federico Fellini, Giuseppe Terragni, Arnold Schoenberg, and Rem Koolhaas (Module 2, May); Kazimir Malevich, Marguerite Duras, Louise Bourgeois, and Toyo Ito (Module 3, June). Modules may be taken individually or sequentially.
Architecture has always been a tool for power: political institutions, economic symbols, and religious monuments. Asymmetric and dominant relationships still persist in the profession's modes of production, whether on the construction site or in the design process. What would it look like to use architecture as an instrument for decentralizing power and fighting for the right to the city through community initiatives? In general, the management model for cities, public spaces, and facilities does not allow for shared, participatory management by the population. What, then, does it mean to conceive of an architectural practice that fosters autonomy?
Seminar: Architectural Design with PPCI Requirements and Constraints. This seminar is based on questions submitted by AsBEA-RS members, which were previously forwarded to the Fire Department. We will also address the issues of civil liability and safe, sustainable construction. We appreciate the opportunity.

Ideasforward is an experimental platform that seeks progressive ideas reflecting emerging themes. Ecological design, sustainable architecture, new materials, concepts, and technologies are urgent issues for the societies of the future, and the participation of the entire community is essential. In an era of globalization, where communication has been dominated by the technological revolution, there is a need to rethink cities and how people relate to one another in a global world, as well as to rethink the economic, social, and cultural patterns of contemporary societies.
