Japan’s natural and built landscapes coexist intensely, creating highly dynamic and unique spatial relationships in architecture. Taught by architect and professor Marina Lacerda, the course presents works by architects who have explored these relationships from various perspectives. The selected architectural proposals exemplify conceptual, spatial, and material aspects.

Modern architecture in Mexico can be understood through its diverse facets. This course aims to study and discuss, through theoretical and expository lectures, the work of four major architects of this period in Mexico: Juan O'Gorman (1905–1982), Luis Barragán (1902–1988), Mario Pani (1911–1993), and Félix Candela (1910–1997). The sessions will address the historical, political, and cultural contexts of Mexico during this era, while also drawing parallels with the work of Le Corbusier and other artists such as José Clemente Orozco, Mathias Goeritz, and Jesús “Chucho” Reyes. In this way, the course seeks to understand not only the discourse and practice of these architects but also the very construction of Modern Architecture in Mexico.

Superbacana+ invites architect José Paulo Gouvêa and engineer Miguel Maratá, members of the winning team for the Brazilian Pavilion competition at Expo Dubai, to discuss the challenges of this innovative structure, which will represent the country at the upcoming world expo.

The "Cidade do Futuro" (City of the Future) exhibition presents three poetic light-art installations from December 10 to 19. Created by artists Felipe Morozini, Verena Smit, and Marco Loschiavo, the works will occupy the Vale do Anhangabaú in São Paulo and are free to the public.

Form and void are inseparable concepts in Japanese culture. This course proposes an analysis of selected architectural works, supported by the aesthetic notion of Ma, to explore different conceptions of space-time in Japan. The course aims to present the conceptual, spatial, and material aspects of these projects to foster an understanding of the potential relationships between form and void, as well as to approach the void as a form of potential rather than an absence. The course is intended for anyone interested in architecture and Japan in general.

What are the conceptual and technical issues that shape an exhibition design project? Who are the agents involved in the process? What are the most commonly used tools and work stages? Although rooted in the realm of architecture, the task of translating an artistic narrative into space has its own particularities.
