Did you know that architecture students in Segovia have the opportunity to use the historic city in many of their projects? Just ask Ryma EL KADHI, a Bachelor in Architectural Studies student whose favorite project stems from her class’s work mapping the city. Discover why it was her favorite project in the video below, and learn more about the program here: https://bit.ly/48lw9bD

| Roca Gallery | TOPIC OF THE MONTH - Design for Interspecies Cohabitation The global ecosystem is increasingly out of balance as a result of the accumulation of human activities over many years. In our exploration of ways to recover this balance, numerous questions arise about how to design for a world that is shifting from an anthropocentric approach to one of interdependence between humans and nature. More and more we are realising that we have a great deal to learn from the other species who share our planet as we imagine a future based on cohabitation and cooperation. For our latest Topic of the Month we have some fascinating insights from internationally renowned architects, academics and designers including Adam Marcus Variable Projects, Enrique Espinosa Eeestudio, Joyce Hwang Nerea Feliz, Boonserm Premthada, Daniel Ibáñez Vicente Guallart Michael Salka Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia, Gao Changjun, Elizabeth Camuti Tulane University School of Architecture, Xiaoxiao Zhao.

Today is #WorldArchitectureDay! A day to appreciate the great architectural works of the ancient and modern worlds and the super brilliant people who design them. The history of architecture is the history of humankind — they are interlinked. With successive changes in architecture comes development in our culture, tradition, commerce, technology, and intellectuality. #commercial #residential #industrial #commercialarchitecture #residentialarchitecture #industrialarchitecture

In exactly one month from now, my book Nelson Goodman and Modern Architecture: A Belated Encounter, will be published by Routledge. In it, I investigate overlooked aspects of both 20th-century architecture and philosophy, and I am particularly honored that it comes with endorsements from heavyweights in architecture, art history, and philosophy, who have kindly read my work. I look forward very much to talking about the book at events in Copenhagen and Aarhus, and beyond, in the months to come. #nelsongoodman #architecturaltheory #architecturalhistory #modernarchitecture #modernism

World Art Day serves as a poignant reminder of the connection between art and architecture. Beyond conventional boundaries, art permeates the very fabric of architectural expression. Visionary architects, akin to storytellers, wield space, light and shadow as their artistic tools, infusing the built environment with vitality and emotive resonance. This symbiotic relationship fuels innovation, pushing the frontiers of creativity and sparking boundless imagination. As we honor World Art Day, a contemplation on how artistic principles enrich and invigorate architectural practice emerges as indispensable for nurturing the architects of tomorrow. #worldartday

Have you ever found yourself wondering why some public spaces seem so unwelcoming? Our latest article, "Understanding Hostile Architecture: The Cause and Effect of Restricting Public Space," explores the topic of exclusionary design. Hostile architecture, also known as defensive architecture, is an urban design strategy that limits certain activities and, often, certain people from using public spaces. This practice has left its mark on cities worldwide and is rooted in historic inequities, fostering segregation and disinvestment across the global landscape. Hostile architecture isn't just surface-level – it's systemic. We explore how it has historically been used to separate neighborhoods and fuel stark disparities in the health outcomes between them.
