After one year of very intensive work, made of international meetings, networking events and working papers, we are proud to announce that City Space Architecture founded a brand new journal, The Journal of Public Space, in collaboration with QUT - Queensland University of Technology, based in Australia, and in partnership with UN Habitat, the United Nations Agency for Cities and Human Settlements.
Our President Luisa Bravo and Mirko Guaralda from QUT are founding editors of the journal and they are working with a number of international distinguished scholars all over the world, whose aim is to contribute to the discussion and expand current scholarship on public space. 
The Journal of Public Space is the first, international, interdisciplinary, academic, open access journal entirely dedicated to public space. It speaks different languages and is open to embrace diversity, inconvenient dialogues and untold stories, from multidisciplinary fields and all countries, especially from those that usually do not have voice, overcoming the Western-oriented approach that is leading the current discourse.
As a proper public space, The Journal of Public Space is free, accessible and inclusive, providing a platform for emerging and consolidated researchers; it is intended to foster research, showcase best practices and inform discussion about the more and more important issues related to public spaces in our changing and evolving societies.
The first issue of the journal will be published in September and will include several full papers from our successful "Past Present and Future of Public Space" International Conference on Art, Architecture and Urban Design that took place in Bologna, on June 25-27, 2014.
We will launch The Journal of Public Space during a special event at the Venice Architecture Biennale, on September 23 (Friday) in the afternoon. Follow our Facebook page for updates. All our members are invited to join!

We are very glad to announce that City Space Architecture has signed an agreement with La Biennale di Venezia in order to be included in the "Biennale Sessions", a special program promoted by the Venice Architecture Biennale for Universities, Academies of Fine Arts and Higher Education Institutions in order to be actively involved in the visit of the exhibition and promote special events and meetings, as part of our educational activities.
The 15th International Architecture Exhibition, titled REPORTING FROM THE FRONT, is curated by Alejandro Aravena and chaired by Paolo Baratta. The exhibition will be open to the public from Saturday May 28th to Sunday November 27th 2016 at the Giardini and the Arsenale.

We are delighted to announce that City Space Architecture is partner of Carleton University (Ottawa, Canada) in the research project called "New Paradigm / New Tools for Architectural Heritage in Canada", funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) Partnership Program.

New Paradigm / New Tools is intended to explore the implications for architectural practice and pedagogy in what Gustavo Araoz characterizes as a “new paradigm” for heritage conservation. Araoz, president of the International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS), observes that, while the parameters that guide theories of conservation have gradually moved toward intangible heritage, the practice of heritage conservation remains doggedly preoccupied with monuments. To address this, Araoz argues that we must separate the heritage values associated with cultural objects from the objects themselves. The role of the heritage architect, then, is not as a guardian of buildings per se — but as an agent for “managing change” through negotiation with competing cultural voices. 

"New Paradigm / New Tools for Architectural Heritage in Canada" is coordinated by CIMS - Carleton Immersive Media Studio and it is involving leading international institutions and universities.

After the success of the first edition in 2015, we are very glad to present the 2016 edition of Visioni Urbane | Urban Visions. Beyond the ideal city, an Italian competition for short films entirely dedicated to the investigation of the contemporary city. Visioni Urbane is a section of the 22 edition of Visioni Italiane/Italian Visions Festival, a well-known Italian film competition promoted by Cineteca di Bologna, a prime centre known globally for film studies, film archives and film restoration.
The Festival will open on Wednesday February 24: 5 days for more than 70 films, more than 50 film-makers, meetings and master classes with directors and actors of the Italian film industry.

The full program of the Festival is available at this link:

Visioni Urbane is the first film competition in the Italian context involving film-makers at a professional level on topics related to cities and urbanity, so it is a unique platform able to foster interaction and exchange between different disciplines, such as architecture, sociological studies, urban design and film studies, while delivering to spectators insights and meanings on daily urban life in cities.

Il Building Information Modeling, individuato dalla sigla BIM, è oggi un termine diffusissimo ma abusato nelle riviste e nelle pubblicità commerciali del mondo delle costruzioni, inteso sempre più ad indicare un avanzamento tecnologico-digitale senza precedenti.

In realtà il BIM non è mai stato un programma per computer o un modello 3D, bensì un processo orientato al coordinamento di attività convergenti nella realizzazione delle costruzioni di qualità.

Nell'ambito delle proprie attività di divulgazione, approfondimento e promozione della cultura progettuale innovativa nell'edilizia, nell'architettura e nell’ingegneria, siamo lieti di annunciare l’avvio di un workshop di formazione “BIM 4 dummies” in collaborazione con BIM Foundation.

Durante gli incontri verranno esaminati i caratteri fondamentali del BIM, mediante la realizzazione di un piccolo progetto architettonico prodotto con un noto e diffuso software di progettazione parametrica.
