Responsive Cities 2023 // Advanced Architecture Group
The Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia (IAAC) and the Green Skills for Cities partnership are delighted to announce the Call for Papers for the biennial international symposium, Responsive Cities 2023, a global platform to experiment and rethink urban environments in response to today’s global challenges. Building upon the success of previous editions, we invite researchers, practitioners, scholars and innovators from various disciplines to contribute to the 2023 symposium, centered around the theme of "Collective Intelligence Design". Responsive Cities 2023 Symposium seeks to delve into the emerging paradigm of collective intelligence in the processes of city making. As cities continue to evolve in complexity and interconnectedness in the context of the climate emergency, embracing new forms of intelligence that go beyond human perspectives becomes the cornerstone for the future of urbanity. Collective Intelligence Design promotes an emerging collective intelligence paradigm that empowers the applications of co-creation, following generative processes of both the living and the machine. This post anthropocentric approach highlights a unique combination of crowd wisdom and artificial intelligence that, together with other forms of intelligences including animal, vegetable, or microbial, marks a significant milestone in the creation of our future green cities. By embracing new forms of intelligence in design, architecture and cities can transcend anthropocentric perspectives and cultivate a new ecological, technological but also cultural paradigm of inhabitation where inclusivity lies in its core. This shift recognizes that cities are alive and dynamic ecosystems interconnected with the natural world, while acknowledging the interdependencies among humans, non human, cultural and technological others.

Architecture of the place - International Architectural Competition for Challengeable sites
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.
Lucca Biennale | Paper | Art | Design | Design| Fashion | Performance XII Edition 2024: open calls The four calls to participate in the international event dedicated to paper, scheduled in Lucca from 28 July to 29 September 2024, are officially online. Lubica is a project of 9Muse srl. LUBICA - Lucca Biennale Cartasia is the largest event in the world dedicated to Paper as an artistic and architectural expression and is held every two years in the city of Lucca, Tuscany. LUBICA was founded in 2004, with the commitment to promote tradition, culture, sustainability and innovation. In 2024 the XII edition is held, celebrating twenty years of activity. LUBICA aims to create stimuli and methods of comparison for artists who decide to get involved, "educate to beauty", take care of the other but also and above all break the mold and create new points of view. Registration for the call includes a registration fee of € 30.00. The theme, as can be seen from the Lucca Biennale Cartasia website (where you can view the complete calls and download the registration forms) is: Here and Now: Tomorrow. Everything in the contemporary world is ephemeral, instantaneous: often men seem to act only in the here and now, without consequences, as if there were no tomorrow. Artistic expression is a pair of binoculars focused on tomorrow, on the infinite possibilities that the human mind has to travel beyond t e boundaries of itself, in search of new possibilities and new worlds to imagine, discover and build. At the same time, knowing how to live in the present, here and now – is a fundamental aspect of our existence. The here and now is the only moment we have to fully exist, grow, feel, love and rejoice. We often forget about it by acting mechanically and repetitively, we live at the mercy of time: linear time, ego time, material life time. The outside world, society, commitments, social media constantly draw our attention, tearing it away from the here and now, postponing to another time, perhaps to tomorrow.
