The Municipality of León, through the León Municipal Housing Institute (IMUVI) and the León Municipal Planning Institute (IMPLAN), invites students, faculty, and professionals to participate in the Second National Ideas Competition: Intra-urban Housing and Park Solution. The goal is to develop a conceptual design proposal for a high-density social housing complex and a neighborhood public park within a consolidated urban area in the city of León.
Driven by the vision of redirecting how we plan and manage cities, we invite you to participate in this rethinking process by submitting conceptual proposals for intra-urban social housing. These proposals should integrate public and green spaces, utilizing best practices in architectural design, innovation, and sustainability to ensure healthy neighborhood coexistence, equal access and opportunity, freedom from discrimination, and safe, affordable, and accessible housing for lower-income groups in society.

Commemorating the centenary of Sergio Wladimir Bernardes by re-staging the exhibition previously held at the Centro Carioca de Design (CCD) at FAU-UFRJ—with additions and modifications, and curated by Adriana Caúla and Kykah Bernardes—is not just a way to honor the architect who graduated here in 1948 from the then-National Faculty of Architecture (FNA), to publicize the office's collection held by our Research and Documentation Center (NPD), and to value research on his work; it is, above all, a way to evoke his presence today—to recognize his work as a form of thought that incites us to think.

This edition of the Architectural Culture Lecture Series [CCCA] explores various approaches to architecture and the city through the lens of architectural drawing. This semester, the lectures will focus on the section—the representation of a building cut vertically. This tool not only reveals the structure of a work for construction purposes but also illustrates the relationship between interior and exterior space, the scale of volumes, circulation, and light.

The Third International Seminar on Material Culture serves as a forum for dialogue and reflection on the exhibition of diverse practices linked to material exploration in contemporary architectural culture. The seminar aims to promote these practices—characterized by the unique approach of each guest—and to provide students, architects, and related professionals with access to this knowledge.

The entrance is a corner. The office, a museum.
The bathroom, a cemetery. The backyard is a Desert.
In the living room, a castle. In the hall, the banquet.
In a basement, the volcano. The theater, the garden, the pool,
and the tower.
