This work is the result of extensive research by Cuauhtémoc Medina on Olinka, a city designed to bring together scientists and artists from around the world to work free from political or social pressures—undoubtedly one of Dr. Atl’s most ambitious, yet least known, projects. The book features reproductions of documents, photographs, and plans, many of which are previously unpublished, illustrating the history of this project.
In cities, most open space is dedicated to vehicle traffic and parking, while only a small percentage is allocated to people and their daily activities. For this reason, the Parque(ando) proposal involves temporarily occupying parking spaces to expand their potential for collective use, thereby promoting socialization, cultural expression and diversity, play, community, the appropriation of our spaces, and generosity.
Escola da Cidade – Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism and EDUSP – University of São Paulo Press will host the launch of the book "Arquitetura Moderna Brasileira: Uma Crise em Desenvolvimento. Textos de Rodrigo Lefèvre (1963-1981)" [Brazilian Modern Architecture: A Crisis in Development. Texts by Rodrigo Lefèvre (1963-1981)], edited by Ana Paula Koury, on September 25 at 6:30 PM.
The mobile photography workshop will explore the relationships between street photography and architectural photography
Whether it is a fleeting snapshot or a professional record, people have never photographed an era as much as they do today. The mobile phone, acting almost as an extension of the body, creates various connections between us, time, and space; it is through this daily photography that we document our time. As an exercise in observation and selection, this mobile photography workshop will address the relationship between street photography and architectural photography, including a field trip to Sesc 24 de Maio, in São Paulo.
