An ideas competition for the redefinition of the 21st-century lighthouse as a habitable space, accessible to visitors, where architecture not only emits light but is also lived in, explored, and occupied.

The fourth edition of the "Arquitetura Soteropolitana" course will visit a classic: the Solar das Mangueiras, by architect Assis Reis.
Featuring a testimonial from Márcia Reis and a guided tour, this is an incredible opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the context that enabled the realization of this project.

A month of debates on the right to the city at the Legislative Chamber of the Federal District

During the final week of April 2019, João Pessoa, the capital of Paraíba, will host leading figures associated with discussions on the right to the city. Students, researchers, professionals, intellectuals, and activists from across Brazil will participate in the IESP Faculdades Academic Week of Architecture and Urbanism (SAAU’19), which this year will incorporate one of the most important events of the Institute of Architects of Brazil (IAB) into its program. The event will take place at the Espaço Cultural José Lins do Rêgo, provided in partnership by the Cultural Space Foundation (FUNESC) of the Paraíba State Government.

The Regional Meeting of Architecture and Urbanism Students (EREA) is an annual event held in each of the Federation's regions. EREA addresses topics related to our education, providing students with opportunities for debate, knowledge acquisition, and the exchange of experiences. These interactions strengthen reflection on various issues concerning architectural and urban education and professional practice, particularly in light of the challenges inherent in urban development and social organization. EREA plays a fundamental role in building and structuring the regional architecture and urbanism student movement. By bringing together hundreds of students, dozens of grassroots organizations, and collectives around common agendas, it fosters local mobilization within their respective cities and universities.

João Pessoa will host council members of the Institute of Architects of Brazil for its 156th national meeting. Architects and urban planners from across the country will gather from April 24 to 27 to address matters concerning the organization.

The experience of the contemporary city is interwoven with various forms of digitization, some more perceptible than others—ranging from those generated by apps like Uber, Yelp!, or the Guadalajara municipal tourism office, to the extraction of big data from our movements by telecommunications companies, and the network of public and private video surveillance. These mediations organize the city to function as a productive assembly, primarily for economic value. I propose we examine some forms of digital writing that have operated on the city in recent years—3D mapping and multimedia projections—as well as strategies of resistance to these forms of entertainment and regulation of experience, as explored by various artists and collectives, from Krzysztof Wodiczko and Astrovandalistas to sitio*TAXI.

This event was established with the aim of disseminating traditional techniques used in Ouro Preto—considered the world's largest Baroque ensemble—and serving as a hub for the exchange of technical and technological knowledge regarding the conservation and restoration of immovable property. Its primary objectives include: discussing new technologies for conservation and restoration; providing a platform for sharing national and international scientific research; and enhancing the training of students and professionals. Additionally, the event promotes the program, which is the only higher education course in Brazil dedicated to the technology of conservation and restoration of built historical and artistic heritage.
