Organized by the Hungarian Contemporary Architecture Centre, the festival’s mission is to present an overview of architectural issues currently affecting the world, the region, and Hungary. Furthermore, it serves as a meeting point for architects, film lovers, and everyone else interested in the festival. The organizers believe architecture and urban development are common causes, hence the goal of the carefully-selected program is to initiate a dialogue about the built and unbuilt environment and to encourage the audience to reflect and act.

Archifest is back in October, as a bigger, better and more inclusive celebration of great design. With over 100 events spread out across the island and online, the month-long Architecture Festival - organised by the Singapore Institute of Architects (SIA) - promises to have something for everyone, appealing both to architecture enthusiasts, and to the general public.
Architecture performs through bodies. Its conceptualization entails choreographing bodily movements. Drawings are spatial scripts, to which bodies perform in conformity, transgression, re-appropriation, or indifference. Performances can be corporeal or phenomenological, planned or spontaneous, everyday or a singularity. They charge architecture with vibrant energies disrupting the exigencies and politics of built spaces. The 10th issue of Room One Thousand, “Body + Performance,” seeks for performance to expand and challenge our understanding of architecture and its impact. Performance can be understood as an object, phenomenon, commodity, or metaphor. The convergence of architecture and performance captures the corporeality, tactility, and sensuality of a space. How can architecture be read through the lens of performance? Who is the performer, the building or the body? What are the design implications of highlighting the agency and plurality of bodies? What happens when architectural practice shifts from performance to production? How can performance be a methodology in design?
A unique Charrette-style competition bringing together architects, designers and innovative solution providers (students and young professionals) to create a concept to re-generate a former industrial area into a sustainable Net Zero community.

One person’s wishlist is already another person’s problem. Prime Day is cruel and you can’t afford the bag your culture is printed on. This persistent materialism is contributing to social inequity and climate crisis alike and from quarries to distribution centers to construction methods, architecture is implicated at all scales of this material overproduction.
Cities face enormous challenges: The energy transition, climate adaptation and, the enormous challenge to build houses for growing populations. As more and more people live in cities, we consider how architecture and landscape design can be adapted to their needs.
