As part of its centennial celebrations, Liga Solidária is launching a competition to select an architectural design for a new 4,000-square-meter Cultural, Social, and Sports Complex to be built at the Educandário Dom Duarte in São Paulo.

What is the potential of the void? For architect Carlos M. Teixeira, it is a field of study, work, and fascination that has been explored for over two decades. This sensitive perspective on the possibilities of the unbuilt gave rise to the book Em obras: história do Vazio em Belo Horizonte, the second, revised and expanded edition of which is hitting bookstores. The launch will take place on August 13 at 10:30 AM at Livraria da Rua, in the capital of Minas Gerais. In the publication, the author proposes a new approach to cities, focusing not on buildings, but on potential spaces for reimagining how people relate to the urban environment, understanding public space as a field for social transformation.

On August 2nd, we will talk with designer Lilian Santos, an expert in interior finishes and founder of @revestindoacasa, to discuss the most common mistakes professionals make when specifying finishes.

São Paulo, 2022 – The launch event for the book Salvador Candia, Arquiteto will take place next Tuesday (August 16) at the headquarters of the Council of Architecture and Urbanism of São Paulo (CAU/SP). Authored by Eduardo Ferroni and published in partnership between the Stickel Foundation and Editora Monolito, the book commemorates the career of Campo Grande-born architect Salvador Candia, known for establishing an alternative path to Brazilian modern architecture from the 1950s to the 1990s. The significance of the architect's contribution to the field will be the focus of a discussion at the event between Eduardo Ferroni and the book’s editor-in-chief, Fernando Serapião.

Art, harmony, and construction: a new architecture book lists 16 steps to create spectacular buildings. From aesthetic reflections to detail-rich projects, the work is a theoretical-practical manual being launched in Curitiba and São Paulo. Architecture happens at the intersection of aesthetics and construction; in the delicate balance between art and engineering. Every architectural decision reflects a specific period, a sense of belonging, and a constant invitation to go beyond what already exists.

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.

This event seeks to bridge the dialogue between modern and industrial heritage—two relatively recent typologies that have yet to receive the necessary attention within our country's preservationist policy agenda. There is an increasing need to recover, discuss, and seek solutions for documenting and conserving modern industrial assets.
