Berlin as we know it – with its centres, residential quarters, and suburbs – marks its 100th anniversary in 2020. A reason to celebrate, but also a spur to think about the future development of the region. After years of stagnation, dynamism is returning to the Berlin-Brandenburg region: population growth, new flows of commuters and goods, new quarters and housing developments, a new rail map, a radically new airport arrangement, and a growing public transport system. Berlin is a metropolis, its integrated hinterland extending far beyond its administrative boundaries. What we need now is a broad public debate ranging from sustainable planning of growth across the region as a whole to the specific role of individual neighbourhoods within the growing metropolis. Both politicians and representatives of business and civil society have repeatedly called for such a debate, and with good reason.

The Anozero – Coimbra Biennial of Contemporary Art was established through a joint effort between the Círculo de Artes Plásticas de Coimbra, the University of Coimbra, and the Coimbra City Council. Its third edition is curated by Agnaldo Farias, with associate curators Lígia Afonso and Nuno de Brito Rocha.

Under the theme URBANISMS: TEACHING, PRACTICE, LEARNING, urbBA[19] is organized around three central themes covering: 1) Urbanism as policy; 2) Teaching and Learning Experiences; and 3) Professional Practice and Action. These are intended to continue the debate process initiated in 2011, the year of its first edition, promoting cooperation between academic institutions, civil society, and public authorities, while discussing central issues regarding the promising relationship between urbanism, collective action, and the right to the city.

We climb endless stairs to mountains made of piles of stone. There, the stairs end and paths traced between the rocks begin, until they disappear and every route becomes invisible. We are climbing the hills of San Juan de Lurigancho.

Projects must as well be mindful of the ethics of sustainability and contribute to the integration of the sea nd space in our societies: innovating materials, advanced techniques, and fundamental progress in terms of conception and building, energy saving, protection of natural resources, recycling, etc.

OVERVIEW

The definition of crime is culturally subjective. This subjectivity used to help us define law and punishment in a more rational manner in the past. Today, this subjectivity placed against pacing time and increasing globalization is not easy to rationalize anymore.

We see this in many walks of life where assets like gold which used to be the driving force of an economy. Where trade and even countries were valued based on how much gold reserves they had in the past. In today’s context, trade depends on technology and the currency here is information. The millions of gigabytes of data that flow over the internet fuels the economy today. Where stealing gold is deemed a crime and is identified by everyone as a crime. But when it comes to information, all the applications, internet service providers, devices like Alexa and corporations are running on this data.

Earthen architecture is an important part of Chile's construction heritage. It declined during the height of the Industrial Revolution but has seen a strong resurgence in recent decades, driven by the need to make construction more sustainable for our planet. In this context, innovation in construction systems that incorporate earth and natural fibers as building materials offers an appropriate expression of local identity and an understanding of the territory as pillars of the new human habitat.

This year is the tenth anniversary of the first edition launched in Concepción, Chile. That pioneer meeting that embraced academics, professionals, technicians and companies from the forestry-timber sector, built the basis for productive exchanges among the countries of the region. Subsequent 2017 and 2018 meetings in Junín (Argentina) and San Carlos (Brazil), consolidated the CLEM as a synergistic forum.

YACademy launches the second edition of Architecture for Exhibition, a high-level training course offering 8 scholarships and internships in internationally-renowned architectural firms.

114 hours of lessons, a 30-hour workshop, lectures and placement opportunities in  internationally-renowned architectural firms like DAVID CHIPPERFIELD ARCHITECTS - ZAHA HADID ARCHITECTS - ALL DESIGN

2019 marks the tenth anniversary of the first edition held in Concepción, Chile. That pioneering congress in Latin America brought together academics, professionals, technicians, and companies from the forestry and timber sector, building a solid foundation of critical mass that, over the years, has led to productive exchanges, shared approaches, and the development of strategies among countries in the region. Subsequent editions in 2017 in Junín (Argentina) and 2018 in San Carlos (Brazil) solidified its status as a synergistic forum.

The first annual MICROHOME architecture competition is part of the Bee Breeders Small Scale Architecture Appreciation Movement, which hopes to highlight the fact that bigger isn’t always better. With great design and innovative thinking, small-scale architecture could change how this and the next generation view a residential property.

The Bee Breeders Global Housing Availability Challenge series in partnership with ARCHHIVE-BOOKS turns its attention on Paris for the next competition in the series. Paris, like so many other international cities around the world, is struggling with a huge affordable housing problem. Paris ranks in the top 10 most expensive cities to live in, meaning housing prices are naturally higher than in other regions in France.
