Call for Entries: The 19th Buenos Aires International Architecture Biennial Awards, 2024

The 11th edition of the Arquiteturas Film Festival: Learning to Unlearn

Architecture welcomes cultures and people from all walks of life. However, it does not always address pressing issues such as social justice, the ecological crisis, and decolonization, often at the expense of a dominant Western paradigm in education and professional practice. The Arquiteturas Film Festival 2024 seeks to challenge this hegemony by reflecting on the discourses embedded in the discipline.

How have the events of recent years impacted Brazilian visual arts? This is the focus of the "Brasil Visual" series, directed by Rosa Melo, which premieres on June 25, 2024, at 8:30 PM on the Curta! channel.

The free, public event will feature the screening of three episodes, a conversation with some of the series' participants, guest DJs, and a pocket show by artist Cabelo. Starting from the visual arts, the series addresses themes that have impacted society as a whole, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, the demonstrations that swept the country, and artificial intelligence, while also exploring spirituality and the duality between the worlds of the living and the dead, among others.

The Growarq Week is an event dedicated to architects, engineers, designers, and students looking to revolutionize their design process through a methodology that combines two software programs: Revit and Lumion.

PILOTO, Traveling Architecture Gallery showcases the work of young architects who stand out for exploring new production formats linked to art.

The works are presented through interventions in common spaces—such as bars, cafés, and community centers—located in various Chilean cities, with the goal of bringing the discipline closer to a wider audience.

The architects invited to participate in this first touring cycle hail from Concepción, Castro, Valdivia, and Santiago. Each faced the challenge of intervening in a space in a city other than their own, using a theme specific to the host city as the basis for their work, viewed through the lens of an outsider.

On Saturday, June 2, at 4:00 PM, the Casa da Arquitectura – Centro Português de Arquitectura will host the presentation of a piece of furniture designed by architect Bartolomeu Costa Cabral for Projecto Martins.
