The Edumeet International Conference (International Conference on Transfers for Innovation and Pedagogical Change 2021) is a space and time for sharing transferable experiences that allow us to rethink the future of education and imagine a new contract and agenda between the university and the world.
The ability to develop new advanced solutions in architecture, construction, urbanism, and design will be fundamental to responding to the challenges posed by the current crisis.

The 2026 UIA World Congress of Architects (UIA2026BCN) has launched the International Emerging Workshop, a specially designed program that invites students and young professionals to engage in experimental studios led by twelve emerging architecture firms. Scheduled for June 19–27, 2025—one week prior to the congress—the program serves as a prelude, offering dynamic workshops, public lectures, inspiring dialogues with mentors, and city tours. 180 participants from around the world will collaborate across twelve workshops, fostering cross-cultural and interdisciplinary exchange. Each workshop will explore a specific research direction centered on the congress theme, "Becoming. Architectures for a Planet in Transition." Outcomes will be showcased in a dedicated exhibition during the congress.
Using fog as a metaphor, this lecture explores the increasingly immaterial and diffuse nature of our world—manifest in the translucent facades of our cities, immersive artworks, the digital clouds storing our data, the smoke from wildfires, invisible surveillance mechanisms, and the opaque operations of financial capital. The event also marks the launch of a curated course track by Guilherme Wisnik, featuring four programs focused on architecture and art. Attendees will receive a 30% discount on registration for courses within this thematic track.

Bringing together approximately 160 works by renowned Black artists from Brazil and the United States, the exhibition "Ancestral: Afro-Americas" arrives at the Centro Cultural Banco do Brasil Rio de Janeiro on June 4, 2025. Under the artistic direction of Marcello Dantas and curated by Ana Beatriz Almeida, the exhibition celebrates the shared heritage and bonds between Afro-descendant peoples in Brazil and the United States within the field of visual arts, promoting a critical reflection on the African diaspora. The show also features a collection of adornments commonly known as "joias de crioula"—attire worn by Black women who achieved freedom in colonial Brazil, particularly in Bahia, as a way to express their ancestry—and a selection of African art from the Ivani and Jorge Yunes Collection, curated by Renato Araújo da Silva. These segments seek to identify, on one hand, the spaces where African ancestry was present during colonial Brazil and, on the other, its elements in art produced in its territory of origin.

During the period of social isolation, the network launched a weekly program, Meia Hora com o BrCidades, which aims to disseminate its agenda and, naturally, reflect on the changes brought about by the pandemic. With an irreverent and informal approach, the program invites prominent urbanists, researchers, professionals, and organizations committed to advancing these agendas to join the conversation.
The proposals that make up the exhibition Ciudad Completa | La Palomera: reconocimiento y celebración (Hacienda La Trinidad Parque Cultural) are the result of a multiplicity of individual and collective exercises, deployed as creative actions—experiences conceived to transcend the boundaries that make it difficult to imagine and experience the city as a diverse and complex fabric, open to the forces of the other, always yet to come; and of the other, the inhabitant who, together with us, inhabits and shapes it. A city for encounter, active consensus, learning, and transformation.
