The Norman Foster Foundation is offering students from around the world the opportunity to participate in the upcoming Urban Mobility workshop, which will take place at the Foundation's headquarters in Madrid, Spain, from September 17 to 21, 2018.

Since the late 19th and mid-20th centuries, the monorail has been a staple of science fiction's visions of the urban future. Beyond the Space Age aesthetic, its implementation is relatively affordable and rapid when compared to the cost, time, and impact of underground subway systems. Surprisingly, there are few operational examples, and those currently in use are often conceived in isolation from other urban needs.

This course provides a dynamic approach to the concepts and practices of Visual Programming with Dynamo, directly integrated with BIM methodology using Revit.

As part of the launch of the Bogotá Public Space Biennial, we invite you to join us this Friday, July 27, at 4:00 p.m. for coffee with Spanish architect and urbanist José María Ezquiaga to discuss public space and the city.

The 14th edition of the Spanish Biennial of Architecture and Urbanism focuses on the concept of dwelling as the foundation of architecture and the humanization of the city. This idea is defined by the quality and character of spaces, whether domestic or public, urban or rural. The exhibition seeks to value environments, social life, spaces, and the proximity of places without compromising the creativity of the works. The humanization of architecture and the city is based on proximity, human scale, and spaces for both social interaction and intimacy.

Emerging from a context of economic austerity, the biennial showcases architecture that has moved away from formal excess while successfully maximizing the relationships between domestic environments, the city, and people.

FORMAL INFORMAL is a new solo exhibition by Francisco Nogueira, a Lisbon-based photographer trained as an architect. The photographs were made over six years across the Cape Verdean islands of São Vicente, Santo Antão and Santiago, and explore the idea of an architecture without architects, vernacular, informal, built in the time between a desire and its realisation. The exhibition opens on 16 July at Arquivo Aires Mateus, Lisbon.

The FABRICATE Call for Works is open and the organisers are looking for innovative projects from research and industry to be a part of this international event.
Call Deadline: 3rd July 2026
Call Details: https://www.fabricate.org/
Submission Guidelines: https://www.fabricate.org/submission-guidelines-2027/
Submission Stage 1 consists of an Abstract of 600-800 words with 10-15 embedded images that declare and clearly demonstrate the specific research innovation as built, and in the development of being built. High quality images of design and fabrication processes should predominate the selection, with 3-4 images of the work as complete.
The 2027 Edition focuses on rethinking extractive models of architectural production, learning from local contexts, and empowering more diverse communities of designers, makers, and builders. FABRICATE is looking for work that engages meaningfully with material, social, and environmental questions across diverse scales and geographies.
Since its inception FABRICATE has played an important role in promoting innovative work at the intersection of design and making—bringing forward projects that challenge how architecture is conceived, materialized, and constructed. It has been a platform not only for technological advancement, but also for new ways of thinking about practice, materiality, and impact. While FABRICATE has often been associated with advanced manufacturing and robotics, this year FABRICATE is also interested in broad critical shifts in the field.
The event is co-chaired by Areti Markopoulou (Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia) and Xavier De Kestelier (Hassell) aiming to strengthen ties between industry and research.
FABRICATE 2027 will take place on the 14th and 15th May, 2027, in Barcelona, Spain, organised by IAAC and hosted by COAC (Col·legi d'Arquitectes de Catalunya).
Any updates regarding the calls and tickets will be posted on the FABRICATE website and Instagram Channel (@fabricateconference).
