The Ville de Montréal is launching an international multidisciplinary urban design competition for the development of Place de l’Avenue McGill College.
This public square will be created by pedestrianizing Avenue McGill College over its full length, comprising four sections, from Rue Cathcart to Rue Sherbrooke Ouest.
Indian architects report that a significant percentage of their work remains unbuilt – whether as concepts that didn’t make the cut at competitions, as proposals which got tied up in red tape, or as projects that were abandoned by stakeholders. While the worth of a building is usually measured by the visual, tactile and spatial experience it offers, the fact remains that unrealized ideas are just as crucial as built structures – for discourse, design and development. The forthcoming book seeks to celebrate these ideas - along with 50+ unbuilt works curated by Rajesh Advani and Ruturaj Parikh, it also
Anthology Architecture and Design Festival began in 2016 with over 2000 guests and 65 leading built environment practitioners from seven countries. Since then, the three-day forum about architecture and design has been consistently growing in participants, speakers, lectures and panel discussions. Heading into its fifth year, the Anthology Architecture and Design Festival is a platform that seeks to launch an inquiry into the basis of architecture and how it is adapting to our changing world. What, why and how do we think of architecture? Each year we have explored various themes such as narratives, context and intent, social architecture, and
Between 1973 and 1975, Alison and Peter Smithson, published a series of seven articles in Architectural Design questioning the unity of the architectural form, as well as their commitment as architects. In recognition of the inevitable cultural fragmentation of society, they question the collective dimension of their work and their relationship with the community.

The 14th biennial is titled ‘Open Borders’ and goes beyond physical and cultural boundaries.
Following a tradition built in previous years; this edition occupies hundreds of spaces of Curitiba, including municipal and state museums as well as gallerias and public spaces. Curitiba public transport buses and terminals also have a special program from the 14th Curitiba Biennial: video art works will be broadcast on bus and terminal televisions, aiming to take contemporary art out of traditional art spaces, sensitizing the population. Outside of Curitiba, the Biennial widens further its headquarters, with exhibitions in other cities of Paraná, as well as
Brief
In this course, we will walk you through the parametric modeling features that Revit Architecture has to offer. Revit Architecture by Autodesk is one of the leading applications in the industry for Building Information Modelling and is reshaping the way we design and build. The ability to create smart 3d models, where each object has attributes that collectively create a robust database for coordinating and extracting information, is one of the most relevant skills any designer should learn today. After this course, you will know the basics of Revit Architecture, and you will feel confident to start creating your BIM
SUMMARY
World Campus Masters Selective Graduation Design Program (short for "WCM Program”) is launched by an international design competition platform Young Bird Plan, and it is committed to recognizing the fresh blood of contemporary design through evaluating graduation designs from global young designers in different regions and cultures. It encourages original design and design thinking in campus to conduct a positive dialogue with global design industry and industrial development, bringing young designers and their graduation works to one of the world's most influential design platform and the cutting-edge design ecosystem.
Designers who graduated between 2015 and 2019 and major in Architecture, Urban
Plattenbau, Panelák, Wielka Płyta, Panelky, Panelház or Панельки: Prefabricated panel blocks go by different names around the former Eastern Bloc, but no matter where they were built, their goal was always the same: to provide homes for expanding city populations after World War II.
Panelki by Zupagrafika allows readers to assemble a genuine Soviet-era pre-cast block, panel by panel, while learning about the history of prefabricated construction systems commonly used behind the Iron Curtain.
The first part of the book opens with an introduction to mass housing in the former Soviet Union and its satellites, illustrated with photographs and socialist propaganda posters.
Under Under is a publication that links the works and thoughts of practitioners, educators, and researchers in the fields of landscape architecture, architecture, urbanism, and the visual arts. This editorial experiment attempts to reveal images and ideas that have not necessarily had the chance to solidify as built projects or in academically rigorous media. The editors must first select work that they believe deserves some form of inquiry, and secondly, they must attempt to build new knowledge by pairing two different bodies of work or perspectives. For this inaugural edition, we chose to open Jeppe Aagaard Andersen’s archive. Andersen’s influence
The purpose of the present essay is a comprehensive analysis of the theory of individuation in the process of design and digital fabrication in architecture and design. The systematization of the concepts in a coherent discourse is achieved in function of following the theoretical proposal of the french philosopher Gilbert Simondon.
That a thing is in a certain way is a matter that concerns design. More precisely, it is during the design operation that those particular ways and properties of things are defined. In the design operation, human agency and materiality are interwoven. The way in which these agencies relate has
The Forge Prize recognizes innovation in the use of steel and how it can be used to reduce design and construction time. Established by the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC), the prize invites emerging architects to submit proposals for visionary designs that embrace steel as the primary structural component to increase project speed. The Forge Prize is intended to engage emerging architects in developing imaginative solutions that bolster steel as the 21st century building material of choice through a two-stage design challenge, culminating in a public announcement of finalists in Spring 2020.
Top 3 finalists receive $10K. Grand Prize
PREMISE
Paris, the capital of France has been inhabited since the beginning of 3rd Century BC along the banks of river Seine. It started as the hub of trading center which eventually led to its growth as a metropolis.
By mid-18th Century, it became densely populated with a cityscape that had not changed since the middle ages. Napoleon III hired Hausmann for one of the largest urban transformations. Consequently, he built the first transport network encircling Paris, transforming it from a medieval town to an industrial center of 19th Century.
This railway network, known as Petite Ceinture, initially
