IAAC presents the II REDES Summit: The Proximity Urbanism, part of the second edition of the Online Master in Cities (MOeC).

Being a reference in the Argentine Modern Movement, the Colegio Mayor Argentino Nuestra Señora de Luján (CMANSL) is located in the University City of Madrid, Spain. Designed by Horacio Baliero and Carmen Córdova, with the collaboration of Javier Feduchi as the works director and Jesús García Vela as the clerk of works, the building emerged as a result of the competition called by the Ministry of Culture and Education of the Argentine Republic in September 1963. Inaugurated in 1971, it represents an example of modern and organic architecture that, based on a traditional construction system, is capable of addressing the functional and expressive needs of a modern 20th-century building, adapting to the surrounding environment where it stands.

On October 10 at 7:00 PM, Arquitectura en Corto invites you to the Fundación Arquia in Madrid (Tutor, 16) for the screening of "Bamboo: The Tradition of the Future." This documentary, directed by Swedish architect and filmmaker Johan Granberg, explores the potential of bamboo in contemporary construction and its extraordinary qualities in the fight against climate change. Following the screening, a panel discussion will be held with architects who are experts in the use of this material. Jesús Hernández, Director of Architecture at Estudio Lamela, was responsible for the construction of the T4 terminal at Madrid-Barajas Airport, the largest project in Spain built with bamboo; Eugenia Muscio, an architect and PhD from ETSAM, is a researcher specializing in the use of bamboo in construction; and Greta Tresserra, an architect, is the Founder and Creative Director of BambooHUB.

LanzarQ is a training, internship, and mentoring project that brings together professionals from various fields within the architecture sector to support and advise junior architects as they begin their professional careers, facilitating their entry into the job market and the development of their core competencies.

Materials 2050: Reuse and Recycle

Arquitectura en Corto invites you to the screening of the short film Les Matérialistes, which will take place on Wednesday, January 29, at 7:00 PM at the Arquia Foundation (c/Tutor, 16, Madrid). What construction materials will be used in 2050? Directors Jonathan Lapalme and Meggan Collins define Les Matérialistes as a docufiction film that blends current data with future projections to invite a collective reflection on the model shift required to transition toward a circular economy and carbon neutrality. Following the screening, the event will feature Alicia Carvajal, an architect from Dark Matter Labs—one of the organizations that supported the short film and the Les Matérialistes project—along with Lucas Muñoz, a designer recognized for his reuse of materials in his projects, and Albert Sagrera, an architect and environmental consultant specializing in the environmental impact of materials and construction waste management.
