The IED (Istituto Europeo di Design) will host Italian designer Gianni Cinti for the lecture "The Future of Fashion" on October 19 at 7:00 PM. The discussion is rooted in the concept that designers are crucial players in the sustainability game. Indeed, it is necessary to reclaim a design methodology linked to "making" and "inventing"—elements that have always been inherent to the creator and are indispensable to the "Made in Italy" working method.

Twenty years ago, a demand from the society of Mato Grosso do Sul was met. A group of professors from the Civil Engineering program formed the inaugural faculty of the newly established Architecture and Urbanism program at UFMS. Over the years, many have contributed to this program, including faculty, staff, and students. Now, in 2019, we are launching a year of celebrations to reflect, discuss, and continue building an even better program. Our first event will take place from October 21 to 25, featuring an opening session with individuals who have shaped our history, followed by a series of workshops, lectures, and activities that mark the start of these two decades of commemoration.
From October 4 to November 25, the call for entries for the International Design Competition for the "Education of the Future Building" will be open. The project is to be built based on the master plan designed for the Innovation Park in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
This open, single-stage competition is open to all architecture professionals wishing to participate. The goal is to develop a landmark building for the city that, from a contemporary perspective, addresses diverse needs, demands, and requirements, positioning the Innovation Park as an urban hub. The competition seeks an architectural proposal that fosters entrepreneurship, science, technology, and the generation, attraction, and development of innovation, knowledge, and talent in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires.
Can the workspace influence people's creativity? What are the strategies for creating a culture of innovation within a company? Will machines replace humans in the office design process? These and other topics will be discussed at WORKTECH 2019 Santiago, the international conference on the future of work, brought to Chile by Contract Workplaces, a regional company dedicated to the design and construction of high-performance workspaces.
A presentation of the work of the firm Gonzalez Moix Arquitectura (Peru), featuring a conversation with its founder, Oscar Gonzalez Moix. The firm's work has been exhibited at architecture biennials in Lima, Buenos Aires, Quito, and Venice, among others. Notable accolades include awards from Peru’s National Architectural Quality Competition (2003, 2004, 2005, 2009, 2010) and the Peruvian National Architecture Biennial (2004, 2006, 2008, 2012). A drive for experimentation and new models, combined with a deep understanding of construction, defines an architecture that bridges millennia-old tradition, modernity, and contemporary innovation—creating spaces that are sensitive to their context and welcoming to their inhabitants.
