Presque Demain – an exhibition by the Intersect collective at Paris Design Week, September 25–30. An invitation to explore our near future through gestures, materials, and shared narratives.
Intersect is a collective of artist-designers from the design academy Eindhoven, united by the belief that visual arts should be accessible, inclusive and transdisciplinary. We advocate for a form of creation that is grounded in materials and gestures, that acknowledges the value of craft, and create space for plural narratives. Presque Demain was born from a desire to explore our near future through the materiality of the present. By playing with the ambiguity suggested by "almost", the exhibition embraces uncertainty as fertile ground for new imaginaries. Rather than grouping works by discipline or typology, it favor their overlap and challenges established formats. Thought its composition, the exhibition creates spaces where the various elements come together to speak and weave share narratives. Between dreamscape and fragments of reality, these dialogues open the door to new forms of collective practices.
This symposium aims to decode and challenge the societal attitudes and design conventions that shape contemporary design and impact bamboo use. Highlighting case studies from bamboo growing regions such as Colombia and Indonesia, it draws on the expertise of three leading voices:

In 2022, 50 years after Denise Scott Brown, Robert Venturi, and Steven Izenour declared in their influential book Learning from Las Vegas that the desert town was to the Strip what Rome is to the Piazza, the American Academy of Rome debuted the exhibition From Las Vegas to Rome, exploring dialogues between these two cities through images taken by Dutch photographer Iwan Baan. This traveling exhibition is opening for the first time in the US in a new iteration on view at the Princeton University School of Architecture from August 6 through September 10, 2025.
Join HELM and New Frameworks for a timely and powerful virtual event for those in the AEC (architecture, engineering and construction) industry and others interested in learning more about this current moment and how to respond to increased attacks on workers.
The event is proudly supported by several international universities and cultural institutions, reflecting a shared commitment to heritage, innovation, and collaboration across borders.
A two-day event bringing together architects, researchers, students, and creatives from around the world to explore architecture through conferences, workshops, and exhibitions. Held in the Yucatán region, the festival celebrates vernacular knowledge, contemporary practice, and cultural exchange in a vibrant, community-centered setting.
Sometimes, one drawing is enough to spark a revolution — not through detail or precision, but through imagination. A single image can challenge what architecture is, question what it serves, and propose what it could become.

Ocean Futures Conference 2025: Smart Technologies and Sustainable Coastal Living
Join us at the forefront of change for the Ocean Futures Conference 2025. Proudly presented by the Institute of Smart City and Management (ISCM), College of Technology and Design, UEH University alongside our global and local partners, this year we set our sights on the vast potential of the Blue Economy - a theme that redefines how technology and design interact with our planet's most vital resource: its oceans. The blue economy is not only a driver of economic growth, but it also plays a crucial role in safeguarding sovereignty, ensuring national security, and promoting sustainable development.
For 2025, OBEL will grant two teaching fellowships of up to €75,000 and invite prospective fellows from around the world to apply in partnership with a host institution. The taught courses will preferably begin in 2026 (or soon thereafter) and revolve around the 2025 OBEL focus: Ready Made. The aim is to foster deeper exploration, development, and dissemination of knowledge on this key topic within the built environment.

The Vienna Architecture Summer School (VAS²) aims to provide an open learning space and prototypical infrastructure for the exchange and negotiation of knowledges in architecture, reaching beyond dominating institutions and mainstream discourses. VAS² invites local and international participants to exchange with young architects and established experts all practicing in Vienna and beyond.
1. Background - The current Daegu City Hall in Dongin was constructed in 1993, and the City Council building in 1956. Due to aging facilities and a shortage of administrative space, the city has been leasing nearby office buildings and operating in a dispersed manner since 2004. - Among these, the former Gyeongsangbuk-do Provincial Government Office, built in 1965 and currently used as the Daegu City Hall in Sangyeok, is located approximately 4 km or a 15-minute drive from the Daegu City Hall in Dongin. This facility is also fragmented across several buildings, making it inconvenient for citizens to visit, significantly reducing administrative efficiency, and resulting in considerable unnecessary expenditures. - As a result, the necessity of constructing a new city hall was brought into public discussion. Since the initial construction plan was established in 2004, a Citizen Participation Committee consisting of 250 citizens took part in the site selection process in 2019, ultimately selecting the Duryu Water Purification Plant site in Dalseo-gu as the final project location.
In this issue of Dearq "Perennial: Architecture's Timeless Dimensions" we are particularly interested in the relationships between materials, architectural elements, spatial and formal arrangements, as well as the instruments and methods we use to describe and classify these connections in order to better understand what stands the test of time and what does not.
