Archathon serves as a platform for recent architecture and interior design graduates, where teams compete to complete a challenge: design an environment in under 24 hours using products from partner brands.

On May 16 at 6:30 PM, Fraya Frehse, a professor in the Department of Sociology at USP, will deliver the final lecture of the "Planos: Diálogos em Arquitetura, Urbanismo e Design" (Plans: Dialogues in Architecture, Urbanism, and Design) series, hosted by the Professional Master's Program in Architecture, Urbanism, and Design at Belas Artes.
Focusing on the theme "City and Memory," Frehse will discuss her experience in anthropology and sociology at their intersection with history and urban studies. Her talk will highlight the relationships between the body, public space, and urbanization in São Paulo, specifically addressing how bodily uses of public places—particularly streets and squares—reveal the connections between city and memory in our city.
The lecture is free and open to the public, and will be held in the Sala Stadium at the institution's Unit 1. No registration is required to attend.

The 13 finalist projects—selected from 244 entries across 17 Brazilian states and the Federal District—are featured in an exhibition at the Instituto Tomie Ohtake, where the winners will be announced at the opening on August 23.

Since the 19th century, World Expos have served to showcase the culture, art, progress, and scientific advancements of participating nations. These exhibitions are the premier international showcase for participating countries and represent a historic event for their host nations.

World Expos have left an impressive architectural legacy that has become symbolic of many cities and countries. Notable examples include the Crystal Palace in London (1851), the Eiffel Tower in Paris (1889), the Ferris Wheel in Chicago (1893), the Atomium in Brussels (1958), the Space Needle in Seattle (1962), and Mies van der Rohe’s German Pavilion in Barcelona (1929), among many others.

Since 1989, the Cabildo de Lanzarote has been working to revitalize and enhance the cultural appeal of Arrecife. The primary objective of this project is to transform the El Almacén plaza (Arrecife) into an urban hub for culture and social interaction. This competition represents a significant step toward that goal, as the winning proposal will be built.

The 2018 World Cup ended just a few weeks ago. It concluded an intense month that not only impacted the world of sports but also had direct repercussions on the host country's economy, tourism, and urban planning. Russia was the chosen host country. A total of 12 stadiums across 11 Russian cities were built or renovated for the tournament. But have you ever considered what happens when Olympic stadiums, World Cup venues, or other costly sports infrastructure close after the events for which they were designed? Many host local sports clubs. Others, however, become what we call "white elephants," used as parking lots, car racing tracks, or even—as in the case of Montreal's spectacular Olympic Stadium—a flu vaccination center. In "Residential Stadium: Adaptive Reuse," Archstorming aims to analyze how architecture can provide solutions for stadium design, ensuring they can be repurposed once the sporting event has concluded.

How can we design complex solutions for leadership in decision-making? How is knowledge constructed, and what is the validity of that knowledge? Does objectivity exist in the sciences? What is intersubjectivity?
