On Friday, April 12, at 7:00 PM, the Museu da Cidade (MUCI) – Fundição Lidgerwood will host the opening of O Peso da Terra (The Weight of the Earth), the first solo exhibition by architect and visual artist Alexandre Silveira.

Sidewalks, also known as public walkways, can be understood as multifunctional open spaces where a range of activities occur, from pedestrian flow to social interaction.
In this context, public walkways have significant potential to house green infrastructure solutions—such as rain gardens, bioswales, and stormwater planters—capable of providing a range of environmental services for cities. These include mitigating urban pollution (water, air, and soil), providing habitats for urban fauna, contributing to the control of stormwater runoff volume and velocity, and offering improved local microclimatic quality and thermal comfort for adjacent buildings through shading and evapotranspiration, in addition to serving as an aesthetic element.
Emerging ecological sidewalk design techniques that add value and appeal to properties are currently well-known, utilized, and proven.

This workshop will be led by ZAP&BUJ, winners of the eighth edition of the 2017 Samsung EGO Innovation Project, finalists for Vogue Who´s on Next 2018 and 2019, and recipients of awards at the Ibero-American Design Biennial (BID18), among other recognitions.

The 20th edition of the International Conference on Heritage Intervention, titled "In Continuous Transformation," will take place in Logroño from November 21 to 23.

The 2020 edition of Expo Container City will feature an expanded exhibition area. In addition to projects showcasing repurposed shipping containers, the event will dedicate more space to modular construction.

The workshop aims to develop concepts of space and the city through an interdisciplinary bibliography, focusing on the poems of João Cabral de Melo Neto (O cão sem plumas) and the narratives of Maria de Lourdes Teixeira (Rua Augusta), João Antônio (Malagueta, Perus e Bacanaço), and Patrícia Galvão (Parque Industrial). These four writers turn their attention to the city, engaging with urban-architectural space through the perspective of the walker who, in some way, modifies these spaces. By exploring different ways of narrating the city, the sessions seek to awaken participants' awareness of the elements that shape it, and how the subject—this body in motion—interacts with them.
