The Urban Rhetoric_ Issue 5_March 2022_ City in Dilemma

Sophia Journal is currently accepting submissions on the theme of its third thematic cycle “Landscapes of Care”, addressing contemporary photography and visual practices that focus on how architecture understood in a wide sense can help to heal a broken planet. The concept of “Landscapes of Care” has increasingly been adopted by diverse areas of study, from health geography to the arts and architecture. It allows us to understand architecture, city and territory as living and inclusive organisms, constituted by multifaceted landscapes with complex social and organisational spatialities which embody the difference and the other, the strange, the unfamiliar, the indigenous, the human and the non-human. Our aim is to explore the ways in which the image can be used as a meaningful instrument of research about the multifaceted complex socioeconomic, political, historical, technical and ecological dimensions of architecture, city and territory that testify, question or emerge from those relationships of care.

As part of a collaboration agreement between the company Cerámica Santiago and the UDD Faculty of Architecture, the 2021 Brick Week will take place throughout October. The event aims to position brick—and ceramic derivatives—as a valuable resource for both architectural design and construction.

ArchDaily is a digital project in constant evolution. It is an experiment in the documentation, discussion, and dissemination of key topics in architecture and urbanism on a scale that would not have been possible twenty years ago. Today, we are pleased to announce that our team continues to grow.

Applications for the Escola da Cidade lato sensu postgraduate program are open until August 13, 2021. Established over 10 years ago, the program consists of seven courses and is structured around two central pillars: practice and design, both understood as research and strategies for engaging with space across its multiple scales. The program’s overarching theme, "Civilization America: A Look Through Architecture," seeks to understand and address the historical, geographical, territorial, and social conditions that define us. With this perspective, the postgraduate courses at Escola da Cidade aim to connect professionals working in architecture, urbanism, and related fields with research and critical reflection applied to design and teaching.

Now in its fifth year, the Prize celebrates the importance of drawing as a tool in capturing and communicating architectural ideas.
