The two-week workshop at the UNI-BH University in Belo Horizonte aims to study issues related to the city's downtown area to develop an architectural and urban proposal for presentation to the local administration. Design activities will be accompanied by a series of lectures by guest speakers and three guided tours to Ouro Preto, Inhotim, and Pampulha. The workshop will be coordinated by Alberto Collet, Carlos Maia, Débora Vieira, and Igor Macedo, who form the group AAP – Alternative Academic Project. Workshop guests include Augusto Angelini (Santiago, Chile), Alexandre Brasil, Paula Zasnicoff, Arquitetos Associados (Belo Horizonte, Brazil), Gustavo Penna (Belo Horizonte, Brazil), Luciano Kruk (Buenos Aires, Argentina), Diego Arraigada (Rosario, Argentina), and Bloco Arquitetos (Brasilia, Brazil).


The AAP (Alternative Academic Project) is the result of an interest in fostering an alternative debate regarding architecture, urban planning, and landscape. We believe that contemporary education is built upon small components with a strong emphasis on diversity and internationality. Practice as an exercise of the architectural profession, with the intent of offering intellectual freedom, is fundamental to the future of the discipline. Through this project, we seek to blur boundaries and bring people together. The AAP aims to be an organization of professionals capable of providing concrete responses to territorial transformations, serving as a critical complement to architecture schools.
