The role of the playground in schools is a question that invites reflection from both the fields of education and architecture. Historically, playgrounds have been viewed as spaces for recreation, rest, and breaks in the learning process, in contrast to classrooms, which are defined as the primary setting for pedagogical activity. This secondary status is being challenged by contemporary pedagogies, which recognize that learning processes occur everywhere. Consequently, it is essential to reflect on the architectural brief for school spaces, particularly regarding the playground as a significant site for education.

Twenty years ago, a demand from the society of Mato Grosso do Sul was met.

Now, in 2019, we are launching a year of celebrations to reflect, discuss, and continue building an even better program. Our first event will take place from October 21 to 25, featuring an opening session with individuals who have shaped our history, followed by a series of workshops, lectures, and activities that mark the start of these two decades of commemoration.
In the year marking the centenary of his birth, the fifth edition of the Canary Islands' Tank Festival is dedicating an event to the work and memory of artist César Manrique. The event will feature a screening of the documentary "Taro, el eco de Manrique" (58 min., Miguel G. Morales), a feature film that brings us closer to the figure and ecological message of the Spanish artist, born in Lanzarote, through his own voice, reflections, actions, and projects. His involvement, his advocacy, his confrontations with authorities and developers, and his commitment to the cultural and landscape values of Lanzarote transformed him into a symbol, adding a socio-political dimension to his creative personality. The screening will be followed by a discussion between the documentary's director, Miguel G., and architect Fernando Menis. This event is held in collaboration with the César Manrique Foundation and the Hatching Festival.
Starting September 14, 2019, the Museum of Modern Art in Rio de Janeiro (MAM) presents the exhibition "Zanine 100 Years – Form and Resistance," featuring 18 works by the renowned architect, designer, artist, landscape architect, and professor José Zanine Caldas (1919–2001), stemming from his deep research into native woods. Curated by MAM design curator Tulio Mariante, the selected works represent Zanine’s iconic and prolific production between the late 1960s and 1980s, known as "protest furniture." Crafted from solid wood, these pieces were a pioneering indictment of deforestation in Brazilian forests. Mariante notes that Zanine "collected wood from logging remnants, often irregular, as a form of protest and resistance."
