The first exhibition of industrialized modular construction and repurposed shipping containers for architecture and the construction industry.

The competition aims to foster student growth and dedication to projects within the Architecture and Urbanism curricula.

On Friday, April 12, at 7:00 PM, the Museu da Cidade (MUCI) – Fundição Lidgerwood will host the opening of O Peso da Terra (The Weight of the Earth), the first solo exhibition by architect and visual artist Alexandre Silveira. The exhibition brings together a selection of works across various media from the past decade of the artist's visual arts practice, including several previously unseen pieces, such as the video O Peso da Terra, filmed during an artist residency at Chão SLZ in São Luís, Maranhão, in 2015.

This course presents a historical narrative of surface design, covering authors and projects involving textile patterns, wallpaper, relief cladding, and cobogós from the 18th century to the present day. It highlights significant profiles and proposals from designers such as William Kilburn, William Morris, Varvara Stepanova, Frank Lloyd Wright, Lucienne Day, Regina Gomide Graz, and Athos Bulcão, among many others, while examining the influence of various artistic movements on these creators throughout history.

The second edition of the Structural Inspection Workshop will take place on Saturday, August 3rd, at the Espaço Comum Luiz Estrela.

São Paulo, like other global metropolises, faces significant challenges in managing its water resources, including diffuse urban water pollution and flooding—consequences of an accelerated urbanization process that often overlooks the biophysical potential of its natural landscapes.
In this context, Green Infrastructure is recognized as a landscape design method capable of mitigating and treating water pollutants through the creation of multifunctional landscapes. These integrate Nature-Based Solutions (NbS) for ecological source-control management and adapt gray infrastructure to the hydrological cycle, while simultaneously reducing flood risks, providing opportunities for the revitalization of urban watercourses, and delivering additional ecosystem services to society.

Escola da Cidade – School of Architecture and Urbanism is now accepting applications for four lato sensu postgraduate programs.

This conversation brings together key figures and their contributions across three moments in architectural photography: the 19th century, modernism, and today.

The Núcleo da Madeira, with the support of the Armando Alvares Penteado Foundation (FAAP), will host the event "Innovative Ideas for the Timber Construction Chain" from June 10 to 12. The program features several lecture and debate series divided into five modules. The objective is to provide resources to accelerate the approval and acceptance processes for timber as a technologically advanced material.

Winners will receive R$3,000 and have their design applied to porcelain or ceramic tiles to be launched at Expo Revestir

The Brazilian building standard NBR 15575 establishes sound insulation levels for the built environment, and both engineers and architects must possess a foundational understanding of acoustics and environmental comfort to properly plan their projects. While undergraduate Engineering and Architecture programs in Brazil include courses on environmental comfort, the vast majority provide little focus on acoustic concepts.

São Paulo, like other global metropolises, faces serious challenges in managing its water resources—including urban water pollution and flooding—resulting from an accelerated urbanization process that often overlooks the potential of the biophysical foundations of its natural landscapes.

This course introduces students to five of the most significant thinkers in aesthetics from the first half of the 20th century. We will begin with an overview of the formation of aesthetics as a philosophical discipline. Next, we will examine how Benjamin, Bataille, and Merleau-Ponty—in the field of philosophy—and Argan and Greenberg—in the fields of art criticism and art history—insightfully and originally navigated the transformations Western art underwent following the advent of the avant-garde and the emergence of the culture industry. By considering these two radical shifts, which fundamentally altered our relationship with images and the sensory world at large, we will explore the perspectives of these authors and assess the reach and relevance of their writings today.

The HS Arquitetura Art Exhibition is back! The 7th Art Exhibition will be a special occasion, as we celebrate the anniversary of HS Arquitetura and the first edition of the event this year.

This book on engineer Rubens Meister (1922–2009) aims to contribute to the preservation of Brazil's cultural heritage, specifically through the study of modern architecture in Curitiba. The research behind the book began in 2016, following a call for proposals from the Curitiba Cultural Foundation, supported by Caixa Econômica Federal.

With various itinerary options, the city center allows for an exploration of modern buildings within the Historic Triangle, showcasing the experience of a pedestrian-oriented city. It is also possible to explore the area around Avenida São Luís and rediscover the Copan, the Esther, the Terraço Itália, and the Metrópole, Califórnia, and Rock galleries, all while being captivated by the new SESC 24 de Maio.
