To advance the National Public Architecture Competition for the design of Integral Development Sports Space (EDDI RETO) prototypes, the Ministry of Sport, with the advisory support of the Colombian Society of Architects (Bogotá D.C. and Cundinamarca chapter), launched a call for entries on October 15, 2020, inviting architects to design a new model of recreational and sports infrastructure.
What are the conceptual and technical issues that shape an exhibition design project? Who are the agents involved in the process? What are the most commonly used tools and work stages? Although rooted in the realm of architecture, the task of translating an artistic narrative into space has its own particularities.
Aimed at students and professionals interested in working on the development of exhibition architecture projects, the course offers an overview of the practice and its specificities, presented through lectures and design exercises based on real-world situations.
Local policymakers in urban planning must have a better understanding of potential impacts and a more profound reflection to find a solid foundation for acting effectively within their own territory. Co-organized by @sca_socearq and the Faculty of Architecture at @universidaddepalermo, the series features guests from diverse fields of urban culture who are active participants in the ongoing reconstruction of the city.
Speakers from Latin America and the world reflect, alongside Venezuelan architects both abroad and within Venezuela, on the exercises conducted within their educational spaces, workshops, and teaching experiences in communities and architecture schools. These "out-of-the-box" approaches depart from conventional teaching, as they embody a defiant attitude toward exploring themes, contexts, and disciplinary problems not typically found in standard curricula.
The third biennial Art, City, and Urbanities meeting aims to reflect on the social, political, and imaginary disputes and reconfigurations of urban life in the current landscape of Brazil and Latin America, stimulating a discussion on actions arising from the interaction between bodies, territories, and experiences in public spaces. At a time of overlapping crises, we aim to consider the reformulations and paths of artistic strategies in urban spaces, seeking critical-reflexive propositions that address the challenges and boundaries of art within the urban context. Accordingly, the event intends to reflect on the current urgencies and emergencies of urban space through art, considering the mechanisms that turn the city into a state of exception and the forms of existence/resistance in the face of these transformations.
The first phase of the ELO de ação project raised R$31,864.00 through donations from 263 individuals. These funds provided 360 food baskets, 670 masks, and materials to manufacture an additional 800 reusable masks, as well as clothing, books, and supplies, which also benefited local economies. All of this was made possible through the active participation of each partner in decentralized efforts within the communities.

Buildings are static. They serve the purpose they have been designed for. But when cities grow and the needs of the community change, this becomes a problem. Modular construction with engineered wood products like Kerto LVL are the solution, because they enable adaptable, sustainable and cost competitive designs. It is time to provide solutions to the changing needs of our cities. Time to create an urban adaptation.
