The 1930s were a pivotal decade for British avantgarde architecture. Despite the relative paucity of modernist buildings being commissioned, by 1937 the country had, for a brief moment, become the epicentre of progressive contemporary architecture in Europe.

This experience, focused on city-making, learning, and networking, promotes the transformation of cities and territories by connecting professionals from around the world in the "mecca" of urbanism, allowing them to explore practices in global projection, mobility, the built environment, economy, and governance, and to inspire change within their own communities.
Every year, hundreds of architects graduate across Spain, producing projects and theses that vividly reflect their personal interests, research, and motivations. Unfortunately, once their studies conclude, these projects often remain tucked away in a computer folder or on a library shelf.
However, we recognize that many of these theses address fundamental issues relevant to the practice of architecture today, not only in Spain but globally. For this reason, we are launching the first edition of our call for entries for Final Degree Projects (PFC) in Spain.
If you believe your final degree project deserves to be published on ArchDaily, it is time to submit your entry!
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?
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.
