As part of the academic dialogue and reflection space "From Territory to Detail," which brings together architecture professors, students, and renowned architects, the spin-off "From Territory to Detail .re"—positioned at the opposite end of a modern paradigm that defined the city through models of growth, expansion, and consumption that are no longer viable or sustainable—explores the thesis that a territory’s richness stems from its capacity to renew itself. It activates disused spaces to serve as future challenges and resources by reusing previous structures and traces, whatever they may be.

This professional qualification course aims to enable architects and urban planners to work effectively in the conservation of recent heritage, strengthening professional practice in the preservation of architectural, urban, and landscape heritage. In this edition, the course focuses on reinforced concrete construction systems and their application in modern buildings.
This workshop is not only a great opportunity for professionals and students from various fields interested in Technical Assistance for Social Interest Housing (ATHIS), but it is also the first in a series of workshops across several states aimed at expanding the ATHIS Network, which began in São Paulo with the "Vivência em ATHIS para Melhorias Habitacionais" course. This network seeks to promote this practice, facilitate information exchange, and provide support to those involved through the "Arquiteto de Família" (Family Architect) methodology.
This workshop is an excellent opportunity for professionals and students from various fields who have an interest in Technical Assistance for Social Interest Housing (ATHIS).
The course is structured around visits to contemporary architectural works in the city of São Paulo, always accompanied by the architect who developed the project. A public inaugural lecture will be held to present the course and explain the dynamics of the visits. The selection of works to be visited is based on the following criteria: location, scale, authorship, and use. Each visit includes discussions on topics related to the day-to-day realities of architectural practice, education, new technologies, work processes, and the project's relationship with the city.
MOVE CINE ARTE is an international film festival dedicated exclusively to the screening of art films and films about art, curated by Andre Fratti Costa (Brazil) and Steve Bisson (Italy).
In alignment with the Venice Architecture Biennale, the 3rd edition of MOVE—dedicated to Architecture and Urbanism and titled MOVE CINE ARCH—helps bridge the gap between festivals in Brazil and abroad, broadening the debate on urban space and key issues related to city life.
Architecture has always been a tool for power: political institutions, economic symbols, and religious monuments. Asymmetric and dominant relationships still persist in the profession's modes of production, whether on the construction site or in the design process. What would it look like to use architecture as an instrument for decentralizing power and fighting for the right to the city through community initiatives? In general, the management model for cities, public spaces, and facilities does not allow for shared, participatory management by the population. What, then, does it mean to conceive of an architectural practice that fosters autonomy?
Seminar: Architectural Design with PPCI Requirements and Constraints. This seminar is based on questions submitted by AsBEA-RS members, which were previously forwarded to the Fire Department.

Slum eradication programs, highway construction, the creation of strategic towns, the redesign of public spaces, the building of stadiums, and the repurposing of cities for the "World Cup celebration": these are some of the territorial and urban projects carried out during the last military dictatorship in Argentina (1976-1983) that this exhibition examines. It is a spatial reorganization carried out at all scales and across all regions of the country, which directly impacted broad sectors of the population and permanently transformed Argentine society.
