In PLAT 9.0: Commit, Walter Benn Michaels asked: beyond its spatial effects, does architecture have the capacity to convey a thought?

Our cities today are an amalgamation of various choices and experiences of the past, made by our users, designers as well leaders. A by-product of cultures that abide in it, today's urban environment faces fastidiously changing technology and transforming lifestyle choices. ‘Communication’ has had a large impact on ‘commute’ and the meaning of ‘meeting’ is no more limited to physical. There has been a paradigm shift in the cultural perception of the built and personal boundaries and territorialities have strengthened tremendously. The quality of indoor and outdoor in an urban space determines the quality of interpersonal relationships as well and health and well-being of its users. It is hence important to plan and design spaces that are capable of accommodating transformation. In today’s scenario ‘Resilience’ is the only constant that helps keep the cities stable. The quality and strength of this resilience determines the quality of Urban life.

2020 has been a hard year; everyone needs a little break to take a step back and rediscover the things, places, and people they love. With this context in mind, we are proud to open the Architecture Illustration Competition.

Open Source Design is the development of ideas without the retention of intellectual property. The goal of this initiative is to propagate a community of designers that are enthusiastic to selfless creation. The Open Source Design Library is a by-product of ARC.HV's experimental study, The 4th Dimension. The products currently range from furniture pieces, installations, jewellery, modular shelters and animal pods. The objective is to use locally available materials consciously with minimum wastage while following a DIY method of making or easy assembly in construction.
The Open Source Design Library is also supported by Makers Asylum, who we are grateful to have as the prototyping partners.

From a reality of intense transformations generated by the COVID-19 pandemic around the world, the 13th International Architecture Biennale of São Paulo presents "Reconstruction" as the central issue for the Co-Curatorship Call for Proposals.

The theme of Nurturing Architecture explores the discipline as both processes and constructions with an ethos of care, of providing nourishment and of supporting growth and development. Inherent in the multiple interpretations of nurturing, is the notion of wellbeing, and the ways in which architects and educators consider the wellbeing of future and current generations of users and other stakeholders, including our communities of architects and students.

Humankind is at a crossroads. A climate crisis that threatens ecosystems and rises social instability. A fast-growing population leading to Earth's resources being consumed faster than ever. A still in progress global discussion about racial and gender issues. A technological revolution disrupting societies and markets —including the design and construction field. And an economic and pandemic crisis as a stress test for all of us.

In this context, architecture has been navigating through sequential changes over the last twenty years with the rise and latter consolidation of new technologies, tools, formats, topics, scales, and interdisciplinary approaches, along with the emergence of the Internet that led towards a disruptive decentralization of the architecture production and discussion.
