Redevelopment is a process that is widespread throughout Russia, and Kazan is no exception. Kazan is developing rapidly and is raising a new generation of young, creative, and highly promising architects for the country. This is why Innopolis, Russia’s youngest and most high-tech city and a satellite of Kazan, will be hosting the Second Russian Architecture Biennale for Young Architects from October 24th to 26th, 2019. The aim of the biennale is to support young architects and draw them into the field of urban development. The concept devised by architect Sergei Tchoban, the biennale’s curator, involves giving young specialists a chance to carry out unique, contemporary projects all over Russia and to establish working relationships with local governments.
IE School of Architecture and Design and ArchDaily would like to invite you to join this outstanding online masterclass by Eric Sturm where he will explain the different types of online media that architecture and engineering companies should use to boost their image building, reach marketing goals and steer the growth of their company.

In the twentieth century the world was in movement. Cars replaced the horse carriages and sound took cinema by storm. The rhythm of the printing press (Karl Lemke) was brimming, railroad bridges were crossing over the pulsating cities and Free Dance stood for releasing of the mind, body and soul. The modern man was seeking out the beat of his time. Architects, like Mies van der Rohe reacted to it with the invention of the open room layout – for light, air and movement. Moholy-Nagy designed an object out of the light movement called the Light-Space Modulator. What has happened since then? The great dream of movement has been fulfilled. Yet it appears more and more and differently as imagined, a virtual one.

On October 5th, the Associated Project "Caixas de Boxe / Boxing Boxes" of the Lisbon Architecture Triennale will be inaugurated in the Portugal Novo District (Bairro Azul) in Olaias.
Boxing Boxes is an architectural installation that explores the different physical practices of boxing. The structure aims, in addition to encouraging the practice of sports in public space, to create a tool for spatial and civic activation.
The nexus between architecture and installation art has long been a topic worthy of exploration. Installation transforms space and interacts with the audience; it must be designed, constructed and installed and therefore relies on architectural components.
The lecture will briefly explore five questions that highlight the work of the architectural firm founded by George Baird in the late 60's. Renamed Baird Sampson Architects when Barry Sampson became a partner in 1981 and Baird Sampson Neuert architects, when Jon Neuert became a principal in 1998, the firm has been in continuous practice for half a century. Each question encapsulates concerns pertinent to the evolution of the firm's interests and challenges over the decades.
This lecture is being led by Adamo-Faiden which is an architectural firm established in Buenos Aires in 2005 by Sebastián Adamo and Marcelo Faiden. Whose practice extends to the field of teaching and research, and has been internationally recognized by different media and institutions, talk about how the realm of finance and risk management involves the identification, analysis, and mitigation of uncertainty, all of which are necessary for, and inseparable from financial return and performance. The speakers also go over and explore different topics/questions on How can architecture become an instrument of risk management, capable of wielding influence over economics and politics rather than being at the whim of both? And how a discipline that has traditionally been thought of in material and cultural terms be reconsidered in financial and socioeconomic ones?
Call for Submissions: Fetishes and Obsessions and Trends (Oh My!) — Paprika! Volume 5, Issue 7
Although the field of architecture likes to think it is cutting-edge, adamantly liberal, and on the forefront of history, we still look towards the compulsive tendencies of the glorified visionary, their revolutionary thoughts, illuminating process, and iconic vision. This historiography is, in and of itself, an obsession - fetishizing personas, establishing camps, crafting a storyline that awards persuasion and trend over quality and sincerity. In the longstanding tradition of self-made, winner-take-all fanaticism, now more than ever do we see a craving for attention that is pulling (or rather dragging) the field even further from its core values and closer to soulless squander.

Los Angeles is a privatized city that has historically lacked public open space, ranking 66th in the country. Within its 4,751 square miles sprawl, there are too few places for people to congregate and recreate, especially along light rail and bus rapid transit lines, which offer a new way to experience the city.
