On the rocky hillside of the Côte d'Azur in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, Anglo-Irish designer Eileen Gray (1878–1976) built a long, white vacation home she named E.1027 (1926–1929). At 52, this was her first foray into the world of architecture, realized with the support of her then-partner Jean Badovici, editor of the avant-garde magazine L’Architecture Vivante. For Gray, E.1027 was more than an opportunity to apply new spatial concepts; it served as a manifesto, revisited in her subsequent projects, for which she designed not only the architecture but also virtually every object and piece of furniture—creating a total work of art represented in this 1:1 scale exhibition.

Espaço Interior is part of a research project concerning the construction of architectural imagination. It is also the title of one of the five main exhibitions at this year's Lisbon Architecture Triennale, curated by Mariabruna Fabrizi and Fosco Lucarelli. The exhibition aims to investigate the space between interior and exterior realities, seeking out those moments where these two realms interact most vividly.

The 12th International Architecture Biennial of São Paulo, on view at the Centro Cultural São Paulo through December 8, features the "Black São Paulo Walking Tour" in its program. The tour seeks to recover Black histories embedded throughout the city—in the center and adjacent neighborhoods—along a 3.5-kilometer route that begins at Praça da Liberdade 238 (near the Liberdade Metro station) and concludes approximately three hours later at Praça da República.
