The grupoDEArquitetura—or the group's warehouse, as we call it—is launching its "Open School at the Warehouse" project this month. The project stems from a desire to share and build critical thinking regarding architecture, urbanism, the arts, cinema, geography, and other fields that play a fundamental role in how we inhabit and transform urban life. Connection is what drives us; the construction of thought is what sustains us. Focused on the exchange of experiences, critical reflection, and continuous learning, the "Open School at the Warehouse" project will bring lectures, seminars, workshops, and debates to Presidente Prudente. Featuring prominent figures who will contribute to the public's critical development in diverse ways, the project thereby fulfills the social function of the warehouse, architecture, and its related fields.
The proposal for the International Lato Sensu Specialization Course in URBAN PLANNING AND PUBLIC POLICY: URBANISM, LANDSCAPE, TERRITORY is structured as a research itinerary with a dual objective.

Second, by establishing relationships with the environment through research, reflection, and action, the course aims to link academic investigation with diverse public policies, based on the production of scientific knowledge systematized in a database that serves as support for Territorial and Urban Planning.
