Through its cultural project Pensarq_ and in collaboration with Espacio EMA, TAQ Arquitectura has created Mini Arquis at Home, a free online architecture activity for children aged 3 to 9, designed to be completed at home, from any country, at any time. The premise of the activity is to highlight the importance of architecture listening to what children have to say about their spaces, as they also inhabit and claim them as their own; for them, architecture can serve as the framework for their memories, play, and education.
The activity consists of two parts; Mini Arquis can choose to complete one or both. The first part involves creatively answering a short series of questions about their thoughts on their home and how they have felt spending more time in it. The second stage is to build a model of your ideal home. There are no rules; you can use whatever you find at home. The goal is to have fun, recycle materials, and enjoy quality family time while reflecting on how children perceive and experience their homes.
Participants may choose to complete either of the two activities. Supervising adults should document the work through video or photographs—the participant's face does not need to be visible—and email the files to pensarq@taqarquitectura.com to be featured in a gallery of all the Mini Arquis projects. The deadline for participation is May 31, 2020.
The first 20 children to submit their responses will receive a digital copy of the book Pedro Perfecto Arquitecto.
This initiative will be promoted in countries including Spain, Italy, Argentina, Ecuador, Mexico, and others.

ENVOLVENTE is a concept representing everything that shelters and makes visible the final idea of a work—that skin that comforts and wraps the building and the space itself. It can be rigid, permeable, light or heavy, flexible, evocative, and avant-garde. As the face shown to the world, the envelope is ultimately the most plastic and pure expression of architecture.

Through this photography competition, Nuestras Arquitectas aims to focus and refocus on images that have been hidden and overshadowed, restoring the deserved recognition and prominence to women architects.

This course uses the Bauhaus as a lens to examine the broader historical trajectory from the 20th century to the present, ultimately returning to our own practice to better understand the school and its lasting impact. It shifts between viewing the Bauhaus from the outside in and observing the world through its perspective. The course emphasizes the relationship between behaviors, objects, and their respective eras, spanning from the dawn of industrial consumer society to our current hyper-consumerist age. In doing so, we will cultivate a multidisciplinary, open, and relational perspective—perhaps the Bauhaus’s most significant contribution to our time.

Isolation viewed from different perspectives and disciplines: this is the central theme of the "Isolated Dialogues" series, organized by the Universidad Finis Terrae School of Architecture, which takes place every Wednesday. Participants include artists, architects, designers, musicians, scientists, writers, journalists, and others, both Chilean and international.

The 2027 International Building Exhibition celebrates the centennial of the Weißenhof Estate in Stuttgart. Much like its predecessor—the famous exhibition orchestrated by Mies van der Rohe, which brought together masters of the Bauhaus and the European Modern Movement—IBA'27 will present a selection of projects and buildings across the Stuttgart urban region in 2027. These works will test new strategies and concepts, advancing the vision outlined in our project quality standards.

The competition aims to encourage a documentary and artistic perspective on architecture in Santa Catarina and will offer cash prizes to the top entries.
