To highlight the themes of Urban October, the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) office in Brazil created the Urban Circuit in 2018—a call for events organized by various stakeholders on topics related to Urban October.

August is approaching, and with it, our "Architecture Meetings" return.
For those unfamiliar, the idea behind these meetings is to discuss contemporary Brazilian architectural production, organized by theme. The conversation will feature professionals active in the field of architecture and will be moderated by an external guest or a member of the group formed by IABsp to curate this activity.
The Architecture and Urbanism Week (SAU) at UNIFAP is an annual event organized as a university extension initiative. It is primarily student-led, with at least one tenured faculty member serving as the director and primary liaison. This year’s edition, VIII SAU: Create Yourself, City!, aims to present and discuss the Creative Cities Network program by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). The program seeks to foster international cooperation among cities that invest in culture and creativity as drivers of sustainable development. The theme will be explored through three tracks focused on the city of Macapá, Amapá: Creative processes in the city; Perception and memory of the city; and Sustainability and self-management practices. For this edition, SAU is accepting submissions of academic work in three distinct categories: scientific articles, graphic works (physical models, photography, video, and sketchbooks), and posters. These will subsequently be published in the event proceedings. Over the course of the four-day event, the organizers aim to bring together students, faculty, researchers, and professionals to discuss the theme through lectures, roundtable discussions, workshops, and networking opportunities.
Cinecubo is a film club hosted by the Institute of Architects of Brazil (IAB) aimed at fostering dialogue between audiovisual and architectural languages and debating perspectives on the city.

Curated and moderated by Nana Maiolini, Travessia Filmes, and guests, the sessions are free and open to the general public.
Can the workspace influence human creativity? What are the strategies for fostering a culture of innovation within a company? Will machines replace humans in the office design process?

The IAB-RJ Continuing Education Program was created to share diverse knowledge and perspectives on the contemporary city. Our goal is to share the experiences of instructors with distinguished careers in various fields, providing opportunities for the continuous professional development of architects, urban planners, landscape architects, designers, engineers, students, and those interested in architecture and urbanism. We focus our efforts on five key areas: city and society; innovation; sustainability; management; and memory, culture, and heritage.

We are officially launching the 3rd edition of the Bamboo Experience Camp - Peru 2020, an international training workshop where we will construct a module using earth and local, native, and introduced bamboo species—Chusquea dombeyana and Dendrocalamus asper—in the city of Tarma, Peru.
Earthen architecture is an important part of Chile's construction heritage. It declined during the height of the Industrial Revolution but has seen a strong resurgence in recent decades, driven by the need to make construction more sustainable for our planet. In this context, innovation in construction systems that incorporate earth and natural fibers as building materials offers an appropriate expression of local identity and an understanding of the territory as pillars of the new human habitat.
The IV ENEEEA aims to discuss the teaching of structures in architecture schools, addressing traditional structural systems and innovations, as well as their integration with architectural design courses and other didactic activities outlined in the programs' pedagogical curricula.
