In March 2021, the Biden Administration released the American Jobs Plan, earmarking $213B for “quality” and “affordable” housing, yet the bill lacks specificity on how houses are to be built. Here housing’s problem is split into two: a social one of accessibility and equity, and a material one of wood, metal, and rocks. Architects can play a unique role in bridging abstract policy ambitions to real construction as these connections are made every day in practice.

Workshop-Style Symposium

IAAC Lecture Series – Mireia Luzárraga

Nuanu City, a new creative and sustainable project in Bali, Indonesia, and iFarm, a global provider of vertical farming technology, are pleased to announce an open call for architects to design a state-of-the-art vertical farm.
The contest seeks innovative minds who can offer design solutions aligned with the town's vision and its architects' plans for sustainability and food safety while also contributing to the preservation of the environment and biodiversity of this beautiful subtropical region. We encourage submissions that incorporate harmonious biometric architecture to house rows upon rows of lush berries, crunchy salad leaves, and delicate tomatoes grown indoors in soft glow of LED lighting by ML-based technology.

The Exhibit Around APS and dotART associations, promoters of the Trieste Photo Days international festival, are launching an Open Call for the 71% - The State of Water project.
The participating photographers will have the opportunity to become part of an important dedicated exhibition and to be published in the photographic volume.
The project is a photographic tribute to water. «71%» represents the percentage of the earth's surface occupied by Water (source), the essential element for life that Exhibit Around APS aims to celebrate with a new photographic and editorial project to be presented at the tenth edition of Trieste Photo Days from 27 to 29 October 2023.
Photographic works must be able to explore the relationship between Man and Water through the photographic genre each author feels closest to. The theme lends itself to innumerable expressive possibilities:
• The sea but also natural and artificial waterways (rivers, lakes, reservoirs, etc.)
• Water in all its forms and manifestations (rain, ice, snow, vapour, etc.)
• The scarcity of water (deserts, droughts, fires, etc.) and the violence of water (floods, floods, tsunamis, etc.).
• All social and environmental issues related to water (climate change, waste, the impact of water scarcity on different parts of the planet, etc.)
• Water as a source of energy (mills, dams and hydroelectric plants, etc.).
• Water as an artistic expression and symbol of Life.
71% – The State of Water also includes a cycle of conferences, meetings and related events, aimed at promoting and presenting the book, the exhibition and the topics addressed.

Participants are crucial to the success of the MEDS Workshop, bringing diverse strengths and knowledge from their study and work experiences. They come from various countries and are united by their passion for creation and eagerness to learn. Participants choose a project to work on, contributing to its development and completion. During the two-week workshop, each team, guided by their tutor, constructs the design, documents their work, and fosters a strong and fun team spirit. Alongside the project work, various entertaining events and activities are organized by the hosting team.

New Horizons: Through Darkness comes Light showcases the the Perth-based émigré Iwan Iwanoff alongside a collective chorus of artists, designers, architects and creatives of European origin and education who practiced in Melbourne. Explore a wealth of exhibition materials including archival drawings, interviews, print media, 3D models and film that demonstrate how these practitioners explored new horizons and created prolific legacies.
