Since its first edition in 2010, URBICENTROS has established itself as an innovative space for meeting and reflecting on the importance of diversity and the tension between the centrality and periphery of our historic centers. In this edition, URBICENTROS specifically seeks to:
The Ministry of Culture, through the Rouanet Law, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Museum of Afro-Brazilian History and Culture (MUHCAB), and the Instituto Pedra are pleased to present the seminar Between Two Worlds: Africa and Africans in the Historical Archives of the Itamaraty, which will take place on May 15, 2026, from 10:00 AM to 4:30 PM, at the MUHCAB auditorium in Rio de Janeiro.
The exhibition "Charles & Ray Eames: The Unusual Beauty of Common Things" proposes an expanded reading of one of the 20th century's most influential practices, shifting the focus from the object to the system of relationships that produces it. More than just furniture designers, the Eameses emerge as builders of a visual culture that articulates materials, images, games, and knowledge within a single field of experimentation.

Beyond AI_ded Design:
Looking Forward, Looking Backward
Thirty years after its founding, SIGraDi and the University of Chile invite the academic, professional, and creative community to participate in the 30th international congress of the Ibero-American Society of Digital Graphics, to be held in Santiago at the University of Chile from November 18 to 20, 2026.
This gathering marks a symbolic return to the University of Chile, which hosted SIGraDi 2006 two decades ago under the theme "The Human Factor." At that time, we invited participants to reflect critically on the role humans played in the emerging world of digital design. That critical look at the past—and the future—is more relevant than ever in the face of even more disruptive technologies.
In this spirit, we are proposing the concept of "AI_ded Design," a notion that updates the legacy of CAD (Computer-Aided Design) and projects it toward a new horizon where design, architecture, and urbanism are redefined by algorithmic structures, intelligent environments, and autonomous systems mediated by Artificial Intelligence.
We invite you to think beyond computer-aided design. We aim to open a space for discussion on a form of design where computation—increasingly transparent, ubiquitous, and autonomous—gives way to new forms of cognition, agency, emergence, distributed processes, and a necessary technological ethics that reconfigures design practices.
To stimulate this collective conversation, we propose four open questions:
What have we learned in these 30 years?
What have we improved in these 30 years?
What have we achieved in these 30 years?
What challenges are emerging in the relationship between humans, machines, and environments?

The Cinema Urbana International Architecture Film Festival is an event dedicated to investigating the relationships between cinema, architecture, and the city, promoting critical reflection on the ways of inhabiting and representing contemporary space. Held in Brasília since 2018, the festival brings together films, debates, and educational activities that address urban, cultural, and environmental issues, creating a space for dialogue across different fields of knowledge.
As part of the academic dialogue and reflection space "From Territory to Detail," which brings together architecture professors, students, and renowned architects, the spin-off "From Territory to Detail .re"—positioned at the opposite end of a modern paradigm that defined the city through models of growth, expansion, and consumption that are no longer viable or sustainable—explores the thesis that a territory’s richness stems from its capacity to renew itself. It activates disused spaces to serve as future challenges and resources by reusing previous structures and traces, whatever they may be.
