World Architecture Day 2024 highlights urban issues, promotes the construction of more sustainable and equitable cities for everyone. Every year on the first Monday of October, World Architecture Day emphasises architecture's strategic impact in creating our surroundings. Organised by the International Union of Architects (UIA), since 1986, the congress aims to stimulate dialogue on architectural innovation and the accompanying demands faced by today's architects. The theme for this year is “Empowering the Next Generation to Participate in Urban Design,” which calls to embrace urban design that will benefit generations to come. It emphasises the contributions of young architects in creating sustainable, inclusive cities that meet the diverse needs of today's society. #MadamArchitect #WorldArchitectureDay #2024

What is the role of historic preservation in modern architecture and urban planning? How do we balance the need to conserve cultural heritage with the demand for new development, especially in urban areas?

CAN’s Head of Masterplanning and Urban Design Massimiliano Dappero will join a panel discussion on the hybrid temporary urbanism and the governance of fragments in Hong Kong and Chinese cities. Hosted by the School of Architecture at the Chinese University of Hong Kong and the Bartlett School of Architecture, the event will explore the latest trends in hybrid temporary urbanism, comprising both bottom-up and top-down arrangements, that have been spreading in cities during periods of crisis and disruption. Don't miss this opportunity to delve into these crucial urban topics. #CAN #paneldiscussion #events #urbanplanning #masterplanning 

It can be argued that currently we as architects design cities in reminisce over future thought and exploration, this could mean that our designs speak of past events and livelyhood, over future possibilities. My question is not heavily married to why we are designing in this manner but whether we considering having issues which occurred in the past, occur in the future? Secondly, are we as architects and urban designers saying our past cities were better or are we unable to think creatively beyond what was?
