The 5th SUUB will take place in a hybrid format from October 12 to 15, 2022, hosted by the School of Philosophy, Letters, and Human Sciences at the Federal University of São Paulo, located in Guarulhos.

The early 20th century in Mexico was marked by a series of social, cultural, and political transformations. European neoclassical artistic influences began to be heavily questioned, and muralism—adopted by the government as a strategy to educate the Mexican people—began to incorporate new narratives, including indigenous and ancestral cultures, while celebrating the revolutionary process.
Collaborative practices between artists and architects intensified during this period. This course seeks to explore and discuss the intersections between art and architecture from 1910 to 1979, based on the work of key figures from this era: Juan O'Gorman and Diego Rivera (1920s–1930s); Mario Pani and Carlos Mérida (the construction of the University City and plastic integration in the 1940s–1950s); Luis Barragán and Mathias Goeritz (1940s–1950s); and Pedro Ramírez Vázquez and La Ruta de la Amistad (1968), concluding with the Espacio Escultórico (1979).
