Waste or resources?
Arquitectura en Corto invites you to the screening of Gypsum Concrete, taking place on Wednesday, September 24, at 7:00 PM at Espacio Arquia in Madrid (C/ Tutor, 16). Directed by Simon Pénochet, the short film documents the research conducted by the French architecture firm Ciguë to transform demolition waste from a construction site on the outskirts of Paris into material for a new building being constructed on the same plot. The project proposes manufacturing concrete for floor slabs using recycled aggregates and gypsum as a binder—a material recyclable through urban mining processes that is available in large quantities throughout the Paris region. The film explains how testing validates the material for this application and concludes that using gypsum instead of cement reduces CO2 emissions by up to four times. In Spain, several projects have already been completed where materials found in situ were repurposed as resources for new construction. Following the screening, Héctor Fernández Elorza (hfe arquitectos) and Josep Ricart (HARQUITECTES) will discuss the topic and present examples of their small- and large-scale interventions—ranging from single-family homes to urban public spaces—where material reuse has been a core project strategy.

An inclusive approach to the rehabilitation of self-produced areas is essential to promote more objective and widespread knowledge production for the development of new public policies in times of planetary urbanization. To this end, the ISOB - International Seminar on Outros Bairros aims to systematize the interdisciplinary knowledge produced and experienced during the experimental period of the Outros Bairros Initiative (2019-2022), intersecting it with current urban demands. Over four days of meetings, the event will feature various sessions that will allow us to listen to the perspectives of residents from self-produced areas in Mindelo, as well as students and researchers from diverse fields, policymakers, and other participants.
Some of the most well-known buildings in the São Paulo landscape and in major metropolises around the world bear his signature, even if few can precisely define his architectural style. This difficulty, far from being a problem, is part of the enigma and strength of Isay Weinfeld, a creator whose work escapes easy labels and defies rigid classifications. However, reducing him solely to architecture would be a mistake. Over five decades of intense and coherent production, the São Paulo-based architect has built a trajectory that traverses design, visual arts, and cinema with rare fluidity. These multiple fronts of activity will be brought together in Etcétera, the most comprehensive exhibition dedicated to his career, which will occupy the Instituto Tomie Ohtake from March 5 to May 17.
