The third “Architecture Encounters” will address the theme of ephemeral architecture and public space interventions. Considering the expanding roles of architects and urban planners, this meeting aims to discuss short-term projects that impact the daily lives of the population over a brief period.
From October 4 to November 25, the call for entries for the International Design Competition for the "Education of the Future Building" will be open. The project is to be built based on the master plan designed for the Innovation Park in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
This open, single-stage competition is open to all architecture professionals wishing to participate. The goal is to develop a landmark building for the city that, from a contemporary perspective, addresses diverse needs, demands, and requirements, positioning the Innovation Park as an urban hub. The competition seeks an architectural proposal that fosters entrepreneurship, science, technology, and the generation, attraction, and development of innovation, knowledge, and talent in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires.
For the last 6 years, the Fairy Tales competition has captured the imagination of designers and architects around the world. Last year's record breaking competition drew entries from over 60 countries, making the competition once again the largest annual architecture competition in the world. For the seventh year of the competition, Blank Space is proud to partner with ArchDaily, Archinect, and Bustler.
In the twentieth century the world was in movement. Cars replaced the horse carriages and sound took cinema by storm. The rhythm of the printing press (Karl Lemke) was brimming, railroad bridges were crossing over the pulsating cities and Free Dance stood for releasing of the mind, body and soul. The modern man was seeking out the beat of his time. Architects, like Mies van der Rohe reacted to it with the invention of the open room layout – for light, air and movement. Moholy-Nagy designed an object out of the light movement called the Light-Space Modulator. What has happened since then? The great dream of movement has been fulfilled. Yet it appears more and more and differently as imagined, a virtual one.

The 1930s were a pivotal decade for British avantgarde architecture. Despite the relative paucity of modernist buildings being commissioned, by 1937 the country had, for a brief moment, become the epicentre of progressive contemporary architecture in Europe.

The nexus between architecture and installation art has long been a topic worthy of exploration. Installation transforms space and interacts with the audience; it must be designed, constructed and installed and therefore relies on architectural components.

The Center for Architecture is now accepting for applications for the 2019 Stewardson Keefe LeBrun Travel Grant. The grant provides single or multiple awards of up to $25,000 for early to mid-level architects who wish to further their personal and professional development through travel. Originally conceived as a fund to provide architects with the experience of a European Grand Tour, recipients now explore unique travel research topics around the world. Recent topics include the study of architecture in Siberia, post-revolutionary architecture in Cuba, and a survey of the art of topiary in Europe and the United States, among many others. The Stewardson Keefe LeBrun Travel Grant focuses on self-directed education through travel. Itineraries should be focused on a selected topic of interest to the individual, rather than a part of a larger humanitarian or institutional endeavor.
The lecture will briefly explore five questions that highlight the work of the architectural firm founded by George Baird in the late 60's. Renamed Baird Sampson Architects when Barry Sampson became a partner in 1981 and Baird Sampson Neuert architects, when Jon Neuert became a principal in 1998, the firm has been in continuous practice for half a century. Each question encapsulates concerns pertinent to the evolution of the firm's interests and challenges over the decades.
