The exhibition With Love from Spain in Aalborg, Denmark, is a collaboration between Utzon Center and the Aarhus School of Architecture. It is based on the research project “Escandinavia - Architectural dialogues between Denmark and Spain”, which investigates the fortunate parallelisms, influences and translations between Nordic and Spanish architectural cultures. The origin of this long-term affinity is to be found in the significant interest that Spanish architects had in Nordic architecture, extensively focused on its Modern Masters: Alvar Aalto, Erik Gunnar Asplund, Sigurd Lewerentz, Sverre Fehn, Arne Jacobsen, and Jørn Utzon.
Call for Submissions: On the Duty and Power of Architectural Criticism; Poster design by Leila Zein Telles
Should architectural criticism be enlightening? Should it help in the creation of a better built environment? Is there a factual basis to it? Does it have a duty to present evidence in the evaluation of a building? Or should it take on what architects say about their designs?
Do you speak Architecture? We are surrounded by architecture – constantly. How can we extend the conversation? The way we communicate is changing. Which role can we play?
The City Nature Challenge is an international global citizen science event that brings together cities around the globe in a friendly competition to observe and identify the biodiversity in their communities. The event focus on urban areas to promote the idea that one does not need to leave the city to connect with nature. This year, we will be exploring local parks, backyards, and neighborhoods to observe wild plants and animals that share our environment.
About this Event Pasadena Heritage is proud to present a new version of our annual Spring Home Tour. Instead of a one-day event, tours of six architectural works of art will be offered as a series. Recordings of two different home tours will premiere on the last Sundays of April, May and June. Recordings will be available through July 4.

Tariq Dixon, co-founder of TRNK NYC, will discuss PROVENANCED, a digital exhibition that debuted in fall of 2020. PROVENANCED explores what it might mean to establish a canon of African and Indigenous-inspired design that exists outside a colonial legacy of extraction and appropriation. Dixon's lecture will look at product design and industrial design through the lens of racism and classism in terms of curation, the industrial design business, and how the industry historically has been impacted by these phenomena.
Projections, the biennial peer-reviewed Journal of the MIT Department of Urban Studies and Planning, is now accepting abstracts for Projections 16, "Measuring the City: The Power of Urban Metrics", to be published Fall 2022. Projections 16's doctoral editors are MIT PhD candidates Chaewon Ahn, Carmelo Ignaccolo and Arianna Salazar Miranda.
Course Details The Master in Design for Emergent Futures is for students who want to expand their focus interests and acquire the skills to turn protests into prototypes, ideas into actions, and who are engaged in the mission of transforming the current status of affairs in society. The programme aims to provide strategic vision and tools for designers, sociologists, economists and computer scientists, to become agents of change in multiple professional environments and focuses in the design of interventions in the form of products, platforms and deployments that aim to produce new emergent futures, by previously analysing the current challenges in society and industry. The Master in Design for Emergent Futures is organised by the Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia and ELISAVA Barcelona School of Design and Engineering, in collaboration with the Fab Academy.
Since 1995, Cecilia Puga has developed an independent practice in Santiago, where she has carried out design projects at different scales and programs, from single-family homes to collective housing, educational and industrial equipment, and urban design.
Even if you don’t know what media architecture exactly is, you have probably seen it many times. You may even have interacted with it, which is often the purpose of media architecture. That interaction can range from commonplace activities such as checking the departure sign at a train station, to being immersed in art installations that mix digital technology with layered information. With this omnipresence it is now time to develop a critical outlook on this emerging discipline that is influencing our daily lives, says Martijn de Waal, co-curator of the upcoming Media Architecture Biennale (MAB20) that will take place as an online event from June 28th – July 2nd, 2021.
International Seminar "Small Baltic Conversations: Architectures, Cities and Heritage of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia" logo
The International Seminar "Small Baltic Conversations: Architectures, Cities and Heritage of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia", curated by Donatella Scatena and Marco Falsetti and organized by the Sapienza University of Rome, in collaboration with the Department of Architecture and Design and the Baltic Studies Center, aims to address, within an interdisciplinary debate, the architectural culture, addresses and issues of the heritage of the Baltic countries. The intervention of speakers from different disciplinary sectors is foreseen, who will discuss the main topics while providing useful tools for scholars and designers. The focus of the conference will be the confrontation and dialectical exchange between the scientific community of Sapienza and the academics / designers of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, in order to make areas and researches known to a wider sector of the scientific community and, at the same time, intensify international relations. The seminar is the first of a series of annual meetings and enjoys the patronage of the Embassy of Lithuania, the Embassy of Latvia and the Embassy of Estonia.
