From Monday, September 27, to Friday, October 1, 2021, the Architecture and Person Congress will take place.

Following the damning report published by the IPCC in mid-2021, the message is clear: there is no longer a way to reverse climate change. The notion that humanity would manage to get away with it—depleting and overexploiting the Earth without suffering the consequences—has proven to be mistaken. The model of development and growth that has governed us for at least two centuries must be rethought from its roots if we are to continue our life on this planet. Therefore, in 2022, we have no choice but to question our actions to date. With the goal of pushing thought toward undoing what we have been doing wrong, the three issues of ARQ magazine next year will be dedicated to different ways of rethinking our relationship with the environment: "Decolonize" (ARQ 110), "Degrow" (ARQ 111), and "Deconstruct" (ARQ 112).

Material Responsibility discusses issues of contemporary material fabrication in context to social, environmental, and construction related challenges. Researchers, designers, and builders assume the mantle of responsibility to address inherited legacies in everyday practices. This event tries to unravel not only assumptions about what and how we build, but also looks to question why, to situate our motivations and impact. In moving away from practices that simply justifies the present moment, the discussion on Material Responsibility aims to identify where our responsibilities lie in the complex global systems and networks that make up our contemporary practice.

Seminar on wooden heritage architecture co-organized by Patrimonio Sur and CIPYCS, uniting the north, center, and south through wood.
The significance of wood throughout Chile's architectural history, and how this has been reflected in the buildings and neighborhoods constructed with this material, will be among the topics covered at the Heritage Wood Architecture Seminar in Chile.
Organized by Patrimonio Sur and CIPYCS, the goal of this Heritage in Wood week is to promote this type of architecture and educate the community on the importance of preserving and conserving our heritage.
Architectural discourse is often based on what is revealed in and by architecture, while this event draws attention to that which conversely can be hidden, concealed, omitted through architecture.
Architectures of Hiding considers apparatuses, modes, temporalities, motives, and materialities in the crafting of architecture—whether for the deployment of coercive power, exclusion, erasure, or as techniques of imagination, resistance, safety, or agency.
