The project is defined as a space for contemporary architecture and sculpture, open to research and the critical practice of these disciplines within the city. It is located in a warehouse complex totaling 4,500 square meters, originally built for textile manufacturing workshops and wooden furniture production.
The structure consists of reinforced masonry walls with curved metal roofing—featuring columns and trusses—in one block, and gabled wooden roofing—featuring columns and oak trusses—in the other.
The Wolf House is a stop-motion feature film project developed by artists Cristóbal León and Joaquín Cociña, which premiered at the 68th Berlinale.
Against this backdrop, and following six years of production, an exhibition is opening at the Centro Cultural GAM just days before the film's public release. The show combines elements of the film's art with an architectural installation.
As the title suggests, the film takes place in "a house," making the relationship between art and architecture a central theme of the work. Consequently, León and Cociña commissioned architect and artist Iván Bravo to design an architectural piece that reinterprets the film's spatial atmosphere.
As part of the 4th edition of the Arq Film Fest, the exhibition "The Image of the Architect" will be held in the south corridor of the historic building, presented by Luis Miguel Arana—KLAUS, a special guest of the event.
On October 9 at 7:00 PM, the foundation stone for Gustavo Penna 73/23 - 50 Years of Architecture, Design, and Word will be laid at Cidad3 in São Paulo.

Tsinghua University established the Tsinghua University Architectural Design & Research Institute (THAD) in 1958 as a platform for architectural education and academic research, serving the development and construction of the newly founded republic. In 2018, THAD celebrated its 60th anniversary. Over these six decades, the institute has navigated the shifts and turns of the nation's social and economic development, serving as a witness to the evolution of modern Chinese architectural design. To mark this milestone, THAD and the Tsinghua University School of Architecture are co-hosting the "60 Years of Tsinghua Design Practice" event. This initiative invites professionals and institutions from across the Chinese architectural community to join in a series of exhibitions, forums, lectures, and publications. These activities aim to review the institute's development, reflect on the progress of Chinese architectural design over the past 60 years, and share research, practice, and insights, with the goal of continuing to serve the nation and advancing architectural scholarship and practice.
To celebrate the 60th anniversary of THAD, the Tsinghua Design Academic Week will be held on October 25, 2018. The event will feature domestic academicians such as He Jingtang, Wang Jianguo, and Meng Jianmin, alongside international guests including COOP HIMMELB(L)AU and UNStudio. Concurrently, the exhibition "6X10: A History of Modern Architecture at a University Design Institute" will officially open.

Since the early 20th century, both architecture and film have found ways to express new ideas and develop avant-garde languages. Avant-garde movements, such as Futurism, established a close link between art, film, and architecture. As seen in the drawings of Sant'Elia, they convey the concept of the industrial city, moving trains, and buildings inspired by hydroelectric power plants, using the machine as a metaphor.
