UEPA (Unión de Estudiantes Por la Arquitectura) invites you to the fifth international congress, "Perspectiva 2018: Environmental Vision," taking place on May 22, 23, and 24, 2018, in Culiacán, Sinaloa. The event will focus on architecture, interior design, and urbanism.
The Pichincha Architects Association (CAE) and the Ecuador Architecture Archive Museum (MAE) present two exhibitions that offer a journey through the history and memory of architecture through subtle evocations.
The "Archivo Provisional" (Provisional Archive) exhibition initiates a research process centered on the Chilean Architecture and Urbanism Biennial. The exhibition aims to build a documentary body based on the architecture biennial—allowing it to be understood as a subject of historical research—and to share this documentation with both general and specialized audiences. It views the act of exhibiting as the construction of common goods for collective research into the intersection of architecture and the public sphere.

There are unavoidable issues in architectural practice. One of these is considering the "program" a project will have. Although it is almost always taken for granted, both the definition of the word and its impact on a project can lead to countless interpretations and variations. This edition of the Architectural Culture Lecture Series [CCCA] explores various practices and projects through this lens, aiming to reflect their overlooked complexity.
The institution is hosting an exhibition, a talk, an urban expedition, and a collective action designed to encourage the public to reflect on the influence of design in social environments.
Spanning 9 hours and held on Tuesdays—December 4, 11, and 18—the course "Great Themes in Architecture: Cities" will be taught by Professor Heloisa Dallari, an architect with a PhD in Architecture from the USP School of Architecture and Urbanism, a professor of undergraduate and graduate courses at FAAP, and a lecturer and consultant in Interior Design.
You are invited to the launch of our new book, "Tribunales. Sobre una Teoría Moderna."

As part of Gallery Weekend CDMX 2018, the joségarcía ,mx gallery presents the installation La voz de la materialidad, comprising an excerpt from Casa Palmas / DOSA STUDIO. The project challenges the necessity for architects to engage the public with construction processes through sensory experiences.
Juan Navarro Baldeweg has pursued his creative work across various expressive fields, including architecture, painting, installation, sculpture, and essays. His body of work forms a distinct artistic corpus, remarkable for both its coherence and the diversity of the media in which he works. The exchange of ideas and concepts between the arts, as proposed in his work, expands the traditional conceptual scope of architecture. The multiplicity of influences in his work, along with his commitment to applying his principles regardless of the medium, has led him to focus on creating pathways between different artistic practices.
Thirty years after the death of architect Luis Ramiro Barragán Morfín in November 1988, the time is right to critically re-examine a figure who has left an indelible mark on the global history of architecture.

ISCTE-IUL is organizing an important initiative titled "Diving into the South of Raúl Hestnes Ferreira" (a Portuguese architect), which will take place on June 4, 5, and 6, 2018. The event will consist of a trip bringing together researchers, professionals, and architecture students to reflect on the ways of designing, building, teaching, and experiencing the architecture of Raúl Hestnes Ferreira. This year, which coincides with his passing at the age of 86, we intend to revisit a significant collection of the architect's works located south of Lisbon. Alongside the visits, reflections, and testimonies from collaborators who participated in the various projects, the goal is to revive the memory of Raúl Hestnes Ferreira's unique and transcultural journey between Portugal, Finland, and the United States.

Where is public housing in the Basque Country (Spain) headed? Do the built dwellings align with the needs of contemporary society? How can it be improved? How has it evolved over the last few decades? These questions, and many others, will likely arise during the roundtable discussion organized for Thursday, May 17, at the Bizkaia Aretoa. The event is part of the ‘Housing the Basque Country’ exhibition program, promoted by the Basque Government's Department of Environment, Territorial Planning, and Housing.
Art and Technology: Great Allies, with Edson Pavoni – artistic sensitivity as an ally in creating companies and projects that touch, transform, and help people find meaning in the world around them. How can art and technology, combined with emotion, change our environment?
The IAB-MG Urban Kindness Award was conceived, developed, and launched by the Minas Gerais Department of the Institute of Architects of Brazil 24 years ago, in 1993. Since then, its objective has been to encourage diverse initiatives from both individuals and legal entities that contribute to improving the quality of urban life. The core idea is to reward and value the small acts and attitudes of citizens that help make city life better every day. Urban Kindness refers to attitudes, gestures, and interventions that foster a new perspective on the city, promoting the preservation of its cultural and natural heritage and expanding the concept of citizenship.
