Continuing the practice initiated at the XII International Architecture Biennale of São Paulo, IABsp holds an official contest to select a co-curatorial proposal for the 13th International Biennial of Architecture in São Paulo so that, in a democratic way, it is possible to understand what are the fundamental debates, dialogues and criticisms at this moment.

The proposal should formulate a curatorial outline for the 13th Biennale based on the central theme – RECONSTRUCTION – and the guiding principles launched by the Organizing Committee. Individuals or groups of any nationality or country of residence may apply, provided that the legal representative of the proposing team is a Brazilian citizen, formally established and domiciled in Brazil.

The AIAS Lebanon chapter is hosting a webinar about tackling endangered heritage after Beirut's blast in August. Following the incident, the heritage areas of Beirut were severely damaged. With the danger of theft, standardization, and lack of funding, the image of the city is at great risk of irrevocable change.  

Nathalie Chahine, a heritage expert and restorer, an active architect, a lecturer on Architecture and Restoration, and founding member of the Beirut Built Heritage Rescue 2020 (https://www.facebook.com/bbhr2020), will share her insights about ideas on how to save endangered heritage.  

 The lecture is open to the public and will be held on November 6 at 11am EST.  You do need to register before 10am EST on Thursday, November 5.  You can register for the conference by completing the link below:
