The most important architecture event in Bolivia, the VIII International Architecture Biennial of Santa Cruz 2022 (VIII BASC), will take place from March 25 to April 3, 2022.

Launch event for the first published book by architect and artist Natália Barros: "Ensaios do corpo no lugar de morar" [Essays on the body in the place of dwelling], which investigates dwelling in confinement and the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic on the relationship between the body and architecture. The book is an extension of the final undergraduate project (TCC) presented by the author at the School of Architecture of the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG) in 2020. The project was selected by ArchDaily as one of the best of 2020 and received an Artistic-Cultural Research award under the Aldir Blanc Law. Throughout the pages, the reader explores the discussion on the effects of the global pandemic experience on how spaces are conceived and built, as well as the contribution of art as an alternative and creative outlet. Grounded in a phenomenological approach and drawing from dance, scenography, visual arts, and technology, the book proposes new ways of thinking about and practicing architecture.

Design media have always been fundamental in shaping our understanding of what constitutes good design. Beyond their aesthetic value, these publications serve as a source of inspiration, information, and cross-pollination; furthermore, they influence what we value and think about design. Design media have the power to highlight stories they deem important, amplify or silence certain voices, and challenge or reinforce specific ideas.

The skin sees, the eye thinks. Space—and therefore place—is perceived through all the senses. What influences this perception? How can the senses be stimulated to think and, in doing so, open new perspectives of perception?
We aim to experience, capture, and understand this mutual influence in an experimental, playful, and unique way: a sensitive representation of the history of Presidente Prudente: THE THINKING SENSES.

USC Architecture The Blueprint 2022

Ensayos Urbanos en el Campo Expandido is a course within the Gropius Chair that brings together students from various disciplines at the Faculty of Architecture, Design and Urbanism of the University of Buenos Aires to collectively build 1:1 scale interventions.

For this edition, the group held a summer workshop in the city of San Carlos de Bariloche, Argentina, where they explored landscape intervention using local materials—stones, willow branches, and water. The project is located at Playa Centenario on Lake Nahuel Huapi, at the mouth of the Ñireco—one of the area's most polluted urban streams—to create a gathering space and highlight the sector's urban conflicts.

The RUÍNA Materiais Catalog is an initiative that aims to rethink construction and demolition materials through the lens of REUSE. By selecting materials ready for reintroduction into projects, construction sites, or directly into homes, workplaces, and beyond, RUÍNA seeks to encourage circular production chains, helping to reduce the volume of demolition waste while providing quality materials with minimal environmental impact. We seek partnerships with initiatives involved in the disposal, dismantling, or demolition of spaces, as well as with producers who have surplus materials without a designated use.

Every city requires collective action to be reinvented and adapted to the demands of the 21st century, especially in a post-pandemic world. This is the central argument of the book Reinvenção da Cidade - Interação, Equidade, Planeta (Reinventing the City - Interaction, Equity, Planet) by architect and urban planner Sérgio Magalhães. The work addresses key challenges facing Brazilian urban spaces in the pursuit of cities that are less predatory and unequal, and more democratic, inclusive, and sustainable. Throughout the text, the author sheds light on the case of Rio de Janeiro as an iconic metropolitan city that concentrates the attributes, contrasts, shortcomings, and potential that shape the national identity. The book will be launched on Friday, March 18, at 7:00 PM, at the Livraria da Travessa in Shopping Leblon.

As part of the series of public activities organized by the Center for Contemporary Architecture Studies (CEAC) at the School of Architecture and Urban Studies (EAEU) of Torcuato Di Tella University (UTDT), architect Ricardo Fernández Rojas will deliver a lecture on Thursday, March 17, introduced by Martín Torrado. Like other past and upcoming lectures, this series, titled "The Work of Others," is a program of free, in-person activities that require prior registration.
