The monster that ate seeds.

A room faces the metropolis. The volume is vast, completely empty, like a blank sheet of paper. Welcome to Andar 43, the penultimate floor of São Paulo's tallest building, the Mirante do Vale. What can sprout from here, at such heights?
Open to architects, set designers, illustrators, and dreamers, this manifesto is for those who enjoy building sandcastles in oceans of concrete. We invite you to envision a hybrid, modular space—a place for work, social interaction, and poetic refuge.

On September 25, the 6th Open House Madrid architecture and design congress will take place. Titled GREEN IN THE CITY, the event will delve into the capacity of cities to transform and address critical issues such as public health, climate change, and energy generation, among others. Under the slogans "GREEN is the new black" and "Radical GREEN, time to rewrite the rules," the congress will feature top professionals from each sector to share their unique perspectives on the selected theme.
