To Connect: Radically and Poetically

Lecture and debate with LI Hu, Hon. FAIA, Founding Partner of OPEN Architecture and mediated by Carlos Eduardo Comas

In this keynote conference, OPEN explores how architecture connects nature, community, and the self, presenting a series of projects organized around three essential themes: Coexistence, Community, and Awakening. Spanning diverse typologies and scales, these projects embody OPEN's conviction that architecture is a medium that anchors human beings in today's complex world, grounding us in reality and in the very Earth to which we belong. OPEN's act of building and its reflections on construction are a constant attempt to create energy fields that balance radical approaches with poetic built forms, where human and nonhuman actors are integral parts of the whole.

NOTE OF CONDOLENCE

With deep sorrow, the Brazilian Institute of Architects – São Paulo Department (IABsp) mourns the passing of architect and landscape architect Kongjian Yu, a global leader in ecological urbanism, and the members of his team who accompanied him, tragically killed during the filming of a documentary. The institute is honored to have had him as a participant in the 14th São Paulo International Architecture Biennial, where his transformative vision strengthened the dialogue between global challenges and local realities. IABsp emphasizes that Yu's contribution, which transcends borders, will remain an inspiration for generations and expresses its condolences to China, to the families of all the deceased, to his friends, and to all those impacted by his genius and dedication.
