The Syama Prasad Mookerjee Port, Kolkata, formerly known as the Kolkata Port Trust, stands as a historic riverine port in Kolkata, India, boasting an illustrious legacy of more than 150 years. Positioned approximately 203 kilometers (126 miles) inland from the sea, this port, graced with two distinct dock systems, holds the honor of being India's oldest operational port. As one of the pivotal 13 major ports in India, it serves as the vital gateway to the Eastern region of the country.
Notably, the Kolkata Port also bears the responsibility of stewarding the iconic Howrah Bridge. This bridge, which evolved from a Pontoon Bridge to the New Howrah Bridge commissioned in February 1943, is a testament to engineering prowess. In honor of the renowned Bengali poet Rabindranath Tagore, the bridge was renamed Rabindra Setu on June 14, 1965. Noteworthy for its architectural marvel, the bridge once stood as the world's third-longest cantilever bridge during its construction and continues to hold the distinction of being the sixth-longest of its kind worldwide.

PLAYING MODELS aims to address the fundamental conceptual and technological shifts that AI and computational storytelling instruments have introduced to design and engineering disciplines and how they are transforming millennia-old traditions of architecture and design thinking. This conference is at the vanguard of artificial intelligence and design and aims to produce reliable and valid data about implementing new technologies in architectural design practice. The purpose of the conference is to compile experiences in implementing AI and computational storytelling instruments to create models of architectural design. The conference is intended to bring together researchers, practitioners, philosophers, and theorists across multiple disciplines to discuss new paradigms of architectural thinking and production.

Join Harvard GSD professor Charles Waldheim for a discussion based on Technical Lands: A Critical Primer, which he co-edited with Jeffrey S. Nesbit. The book, published this year by JOVIS, assembles authors from a diverse array of disciplines, geographical specializations and epistemological traditions to interrogate and theorize the meaning and increasing significance of technical lands—spaces united by their “exceptional” characteristics, such as remote locations, delimited boundaries, secured accessibility and hyper-vigilant management.
The vision of an integrated, educated and conscious society is what nations are looking for to develop their human contribution. The interaction of people with their environment in one way or another is what characterizes the vacuum in which they exercises their function. This is precisely the most important goal of architecture of the place competition, which aims to link people with their daily functions with the place in which they works, lives, and develops. Hence, we see the future of the city of Suhag in designing an integrated cultural center that aims to educate and develop people and how to respect identity, history, the environment, and most importantly, the person who lives for creating Architecture of the place.
Architecture shelters and protects. Yet too often, the built environment also perpetuates entrenched biases as well as a domineering and extractive view of the natural world.
Never Enough Architecture (NEA) is launching a new initiative that joins education and contests. The initiative combines traditional architecture competitions with free expert-led courses, giving participants a comprehensive understanding of the contests’ central topics.
