Escola da Cidade is now accepting applications for its second-semester postgraduate programs. Among the offerings are two new courses—one focused on mobility and another on technology. See the details below:

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.
From this perspective, public walkways have great potential to host green infrastructure solutions—such as rain gardens, bioswales, and stormwater planters—capable of providing a series 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 improving local microclimatic quality and thermal comfort for adjacent buildings through shading and evapotranspiration, in addition to serving as an aesthetic element.
Currently, emerging ecological sidewalk design techniques that add value and attractiveness to properties are well-known, utilized, and proven.

Drawing from the theme "In Project" of the 11th Architecture Biennial, the firm SIAA Arquitetos Associados reflects on the potential for alternative relationships between architectural design, the built environment, and its public occupation over time, whether anticipated or not. To this end, they use the Centro Cultural São Paulo building—designed by architects Eurico Prado Lopes and Luiz Telles—as the foundation for their reflection, and not by coincidence.

In its tenth edition, the Escola da Cidade symposium has established itself as a forum for discussing undergraduate research in architecture and urbanism from across Brazil.

WRI Brasil and IAB São Paulo invite you to the panel discussion: Integrating TOD Strategies into Master Plans.

CineCubo is a film club hosted by the Institute of Architects of Brazil (IAB) designed to foster dialogue between audiovisual and architectural languages and to debate perspectives on the city.

Aiming to discuss the trajectory of Brazilian architecture, based on current discussions and critiques published in specialized media, the IAB will host a series of debates centered on the practice of architectural competitions.
The complexity of addressing this issue has led the IAB to foster a broader reflection on these topics and to invite architects to discuss both the conditions of competitions within the current professional context and their role in a wider urban and social dimension, viewing the city and architecture as social rights for the entire population.
