The Design Laboratory (LABPROJ) at FAU USP (School of Architecture and Urbanism) will host activities focused on architectural projects for fluvial urban infrastructure every Thursday afternoon at the Centro Cultural São Paulo (CCSP), as part of the 12th International Architecture Biennial of São Paulo.
The seminar "Fundamentals of Fire Safety in Buildings: Passive and Active Protection" aims to present existing passive and active fire protection measures in buildings, systematized in a book that provides quick and easy access to information.
Escola Coletiva de Projetos was conceived from a desire to deepen reflection, debate, and the (re)formulation of more critical thinking regarding architecture, urbanism, and construction, particularly as they relate to the Brazilian Northeast—its climate, customs, ways of life, and cities.
Chawpi Creative Laboratory has commissioned ENSUSITIO to design its renovated space in Quito. Now that it is ready, Gabi and José Luis have encouraged them to tell the story so that visitors to Chawpi—a cultural gallery, fruit shop, and juice bar—know who is behind the transformation of their space. ENSUSITIO has shared many processes with them, and they know that the Ecuadorian firm typically does not showcase its work. Thus, this exhibition was born, where ENSUSITIO will share how it is possible to work together and attempt to generate something, or spark something contagious.
The Contemporary Architecture Foundation invites you to participate in the 'Culture and City and vice versa' conference, which, with the support of the Córdoba City Council's Department of Culture and Historical Heritage, aims to share and foster debate on various experiences applicable to the strategic planning of the city and the territory.
We invite you to participate in the Critic|all IV International Conference on Architectural Design & Criticism, organized by the Department of Architectural Design at the Madrid School of Architecture, Technical University of Madrid, in collaboration with the School of Architecture and Urbanism at the University of São Paulo.

How do you feel about your city?
The Brazilian building standard NBR 15575 establishes sound insulation levels for the built environment, and both engineers and architects must possess a foundational understanding of acoustics and environmental comfort to properly plan their projects. While undergraduate Engineering and Architecture programs in Brazil include courses on environmental comfort, the vast majority provide little focus on acoustic concepts.

LECTURE "CONTEMPORARY DESIGN - CIRCULAR DESIGN"
With Carla Tennenbaum
This lecture explores the theme of CIRCULARITY through the lens of sustainability. The demand for economic circulation shapes our consumption patterns. Designing today with a circular economy in mind means anticipating reuse, future applications, and new modes of production and consumption. From fashion to product and object design, recycling and upcycling are opening up a wide range of possibilities.
The Escola Coletiva de Projetos was conceived from a desire to deepen reflection, debate, and the (re)formulation of more critical thinking regarding architecture, urbanism, and construction, particularly in relation to the Brazilian Northeast, its climate, customs, ways of life, and cities.
This course introduces students to five of the most significant thinkers in aesthetics from the first half of the 20th century. We will begin with an overview of the formation of aesthetics as a philosophical discipline. Next, we will examine how Benjamin, Bataille, and Merleau-Ponty—in the field of philosophy—and Argan and Greenberg—in the fields of art criticism and art history—insightfully and originally navigated the transformations Western art underwent following the advent of the avant-garde and the emergence of the culture industry. By considering these two radical shifts, which fundamentally altered our relationship with images and the sensory world at large, we will explore the perspectives of these authors and assess the reach and relevance of their writings today.
This launch celebrates the 18th edition of Materia Arquitectura magazine, an editorial project from the Faculty of Architecture, Art, and Design at Universidad San Sebastián, directed by Mario Marchant, which centers on the notion of the open project.
In October 2018, the second edition of the Wood and Architecture exhibition, organized by the Universidad San Sebastián School of Architecture in Puerto Montt, was held in the main hall of the Puerto Montt Historical Museum. The exhibition featured work resulting from an invitation to ten young Chilean architecture firms to participate in a small wood architecture brief: a mountain shelter for a Patagonian national park. The images, plans, and models from these exercises in wood exploration, alongside models, drawings, and photographs of various expressions of woodworking by students and faculty of the USS School of Architecture, were visited by more than 3,500 people.
