The firm Estúdio Módulo will host a public presentation of the winning project for the International Competition for the Rio-Africa Cultural Center.

This course immerses students in the biodiversity of the Brazilian Amazon rainforest to inspire architectural design solutions that address climate change in Brazil. Situated in Alter do Chão, the "Caribbean of the Amazon," the course introduces local bio-construction techniques and the use of artificial intelligence software for conceptual design and communication as a project methodology. Students will explore how to apply functional and structural strategies from local flora and fauna to architectural design. They will gain hands-on experience with sustainable construction techniques using local materials and learn to utilize AI tools to enhance conceptual design. Throughout the course, students will merge nature and technology, culminating in the conceptual design and prototyping of an architectural extension for our partner institution, Escola da Floresta, in preparation for COP 30 in 2025. This experience will equip students with innovative approaches to sustainable design, directly informed by the Amazon's rich ecosystem.

Coletivo Sabinada invites you to the opening of the exhibition "(I)Mobilidades: Trajetórias e Narrativas," organized by the collective as part of the artistic experimentation project "(I)Mobilidade Urbana: Percursos e recortes de uma problemática social construída e invisibilizada" (PIBExA 2018/PROEXT-UFBA). Six artists from the emerging cultural scene in Bahia—Ana Elisa Improta, Tita Anjos, Oliver Dorea, Diego J. Cardoso, Milena Ferreira, and Janusberg Barbosa—were invited to create works based on research conducted by Coletivo Sabinada regarding the mobility of FAUFBA students. The findings, organized into a database, were made available to the artists, who used them as catalysts for their work.

IABsp 2018 Awards – 75th Anniversary Special

This Saturday, December 15, marks the launch of the first edition of Envolvente magazine, a publication dedicated to promoting and recognizing local architecture by fostering critical discourse and opinion on relevant topics in architecture, design, and urbanism. Envolvente creates a space for critical reading, as we believe that architecture is defined not only by its imagery but also by its underlying argument.

Bartlebooth launches its seventh experiment, Beyond the Human. This collective publication explores discourses and practices that shift the human from the center of spatial production and understand its position within a global system traversed by multiple tentacles. A reality inhabited by bacteria, animals, waste, bit chains, logistical orders, fungi, cyborgs, territories, ecosystems, and air... A new, multiple body that must be interrogated to understand spatial realities and unveil architectural possibilities that go beyond the human.

Spanning 9 hours and held on Tuesdays—December 4, 11, and 18—the course "Great Themes in Architecture: Cities" will be taught by Professor Heloisa Dallari, an architect with a PhD in Architecture from the USP School of Architecture and Urbanism, a professor of undergraduate and graduate courses at FAAP, and a lecturer and consultant in Interior Design.

The graduate program at Escola da Cidade, which celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2018, currently offers four regular courses: ‘Housing and City,’ ‘Geography, City and Architecture,’ ‘Architecture, Education and Society,’ and ‘Mobility – Its Logics and Scales.’ In 2019, the program will expand to include the course ‘Conceiving and Constructing: Lightweight Structures and Prefabrication.’

We are pleased to invite you to the opening of the exhibition A Paisagem do Trabalho / Landscape of Work, a project developed by a team of faculty and students from FAUSP that received an Honorable Mention at the 2018 Venice Biennale: Freespace.
