Laws, norms, standards, rules, regulations, orders, ordinances, protocols, codes. Like any endeavor that unfolds in the public sphere, architecture must submit to laws that exist outside of it, while simultaneously maintaining its cohesion through adherence to laws internal to its own field. However, architecture appears to be more than the mere application of these internal laws or simple submission to external ones.
This issue of QU3 aims to explore research, projects, and actions in Latin America that observe and engage with the city through contemporary networks and the challenges that define them. The organizers observe these phenomena and engage in practices within a complex and open urbanism, which is the result of a constant interaction between agents and agencies, as well as processes of innovation in the distribution of urban decision-making. In these times of significant political upheaval and institutional crises across the continent, the goal is to identify, value, and safeguard urban practices, collectives, and projects that can chart new paths.

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.
“Our lives unfold through an exchange of nutrients with plants, even if we only remember them when it is time to water them. In one way or another, they are there, allowing us to continue existing here on this planet. However, forty years after the television broadcast of the series Cosmos, it seems we still do not understand plants as a fundamental part of our lives. We continue to view them as a mere source of energy or a raw material to be exploited (capable of defining vast economic sectors); we instrumentalize them when asked to explain the origins of architecture, or we even use their color to tint our projects and ventures with labels like “green,” “ecological,” or “sustainable”; yet it is not common for us to think about them—and with them—when designing. Perhaps to begin settling that debt, in this issue of ARQ magazine, we are seeking essays, projects, and research that challenge the secondary role we have assigned to vegetation, or that demonstrate new ways of including vegetation in architecture, with the minimum condition of moving beyond the paradigm of the primitive hut, as we believe it is time to take a step beyond their mere allegorical instrumentalization.”
The ability to develop new advanced solutions in architecture, construction, urbanism, and design will be fundamental to responding to the challenges posed by the current crisis. A commitment to innovation and the education of professionals and students toward new models represents a key element in driving radical change, providing tools for the professionals of tomorrow.
