The city of Rio de Janeiro will host the 4th Experimental Construction Site Seminar in Architecture and Urbanism and the 2nd National Meeting of Experimental Construction Sites in Schools of Architecture and Urbanism. The events will take place from November 17 to 20.
The course investigates the relationship between architecture, exhibition design, and art, analyzing museums as potential territories for experimentation, contestation, and cultural reinvention. By examining case studies such as MoMA in New York, the Centre Pompidou, and the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, the course discusses the "white cube" model and its ties to modern art, in contrast to other spatial and architectural approaches associated with contemporary art.
