C E virou um marco devido aos seus belos cenários na- turais, enriquecidos por obras de parte da humanidade que tem o dom da criação e de esculpir os mais diversos am- bientes encantadores: nossos arquitetos. A Unesco e União Internacional de Arquitetos (UIA) concederam a esta, que está entre as mais famosas cidades do planeta, o título de Primeira Capital Mundial da Arquitetura. Inspirados no cenário carioca, milhares destes profissio- nais que tornam o mundo melhor para se viver debaterão no 27º Congresso Mundial de Arquitetos, o maior encon- tro sobre arquitetura, urbanismo, patrimônio e paisagismo. Em um ano abalado pela pandemia do novo coronavírus, o Congresso foi adiado para julho de 2021. E o titulo Rio Ca- pital Mundial da Arquitetura Unesco.UIA estendido para o mesmo período. A nominação Rio Capital Mundial da Arquitetura celebra os 500 anos de História da Arquitetura de toda a cidade, com milhares de imóveis tombados e preservados, e pai- sagem cultural urbana reconhecida como Patrimônio da Humanidade. É uma oportunidade para discussões sobre o futuro que queremos para o Rio de Janeiro e metrópoles mundiais. Apesar das adversidades de 2020, vamos juntos deixar um legado imaterial para o mundo e para Copenhagen, a próxima Capital Mundial da Arquitetura, através do debate sobre os temas urbanos, oportunidades de aprendizado, do turismo cultural e das práticas sustentáveis nas cidades, por um futuro melhor para todos os povos. Prefeitura da Cidade do Rio de Janeiro 6 Introduction ue to all its exuberance, the City of Rio de Janeiro is recognized all over the world. It has become a Dlandmark because of its beautiful natural settings, enriched by the works of a part of humanity that has the gift of creating and sculpting the most diverse charming environments: our architects. UNESCO and the International Union of Architects (UIA) granted this city, which is one of the most famous on the planet, the first title of World Capital of Architecture. It is in Rio de Janeiro's scenario that thousands of these professionals, who make the world a better place to live in, will gather to debate and exchange experiences on the main topics of the field. It is in Rio that the 27th World Congress of Architects will be held, the largest meeting on architecture, urbanism, heritage and landscaping. In a year shaken by the new coronavirus pandemic, the Congress was postponed to July 2021 and the title of World Capital of Architecture was extended to the same period. The nomination Rio World Capital of Architecture celebrates the 500 years of History of the Architecture of the city that has thousands of properties listed and preserved, and an urban cultural landscape recognized as a World Heritage. It is an opportunity for discussions about the future we want for Rio de Janeiro and other metropolises worldwide. Despite the adversities of 2020, together we will leave an immaterial legacy to the world and to Copenhagen, which will be the next World Capital of Architecture in 2023, through the debate on urban themes, learning opportunities, cultural tourism and sustainable practices in cities, aiming at a better future for all people.

  • Latin American Democracy After a Year's Pandemic
    ARI 54/2021 (English version) 12 May 2021 Latin American democracy after a year’s pandemic Carlos Malamud | Senior Analyst, Elcano Royal Institute | @CarlosMalamud Rogelio Núñez | Senior Research Fellow at the Elcano Royal Institute and visiting professor at the Institute of Latin American Studies (IELAT) of the University of Alcalá | @RNCASTELLANO Theme This year the pandemic has triggered not only important one-off changes in Latin America, transforming political and institutional dynamics, but has also aggravated the magnitude of structural problems that were already afflicting some of Latin America’s democratic systems, which are emitting new and alarming signs of weakness and indeed crisis. Summary The pandemic has aggravated Latin America’s historical problems –social, political and economic– and deepened the decline in the region’s democracies. The increasing and renewed fragility of Latin American democratic systems stems first from the inefficiency of the administrative machineries in providing an adequate response to the public’s longstanding demands, as well as from the current healthcare and socio-economic challenge deriving from COVID-19; and, secondly, the crisis of Latin American democracies stems from the problems the political and party systems have in channelling the claims of a society that is increasingly dissatisfied, polarised and fragmented, which in turn provides a breeding ground for the emergence of renewed versions of populism and charismatic, personality-based and authoritarian leadership. Analysis The first case of SARS-CoV-2 in Latin America was officially announced in Brazil on 26 February 2020. Thus began a year that has accelerated trends, most of them pre-dating the pandemic, and has exacerbated the magnitude of many of the existing shortcomings, which have acquired even greater importance and urgency.

  • Geolocation Differences of Language Use in Urban Areas Olga Kellert1 and Nicholas H
    Geolocation differences of language use in urban areas Olga Kellert1 and Nicholas H. Matlis2 1Georg-August-Universität Göttingen 2Center for Free-Electron Laser Science, Deutsches Elektronen Synchrotron, Notkestraße 85, 22607 Hamburg, Germany. Abstract. The explosion in the availability of natural language data in the era of social media has given rise to a host of applications such as sentiment analysis and opinion mining. Simultaneously, the growing availability of precise geolocation information is enabling visualization of global phenomena such as environmental changes and disease propagation. Opportunities for tracking spatial variations in language use, however, have largely been overlooked, especially on small spatial scales. Here we explore the use of Twitter data with precise geolocation information to resolve spatial variations in language use on an urban scale down to single city blocks. We identify several categories of language tokens likely to show distinctive patterns of use and develop quantitative methods to visualize the spatial distributions associated with these patterns. Our analysis concentrates on comparison of contrasting pairs of Tweet distributions from the same category, each defined by a set of tokens. Our work shows that analysis of small-scale variations can provide unique information on correlations between language use and social context which are highly valuable to a wide range of fields from linguistic science and commercial advertising to social services. Keywords: Geolocation; Twitter; sub-city scale, language use, social function, smart cities 1. Introduction Studying how language use varies from location to location has long been a key tool for linguistic analysis (see Hovy et al 2020 and references therein). These studies can provide important clues to a range of issues, from tracking the origins of specific phenomena to understanding the mechanisms of language change generally.

  • Casa De Gobierno / City Hall Centro Cultural Kirchner
    Buenos Aires has been transformed in 2015 by two iconic projects led respectively by MAUD Alumni Juan Frigerio and Nicolas Bares, the new City Hall and the new Kirchner Cultural Centre. Casa de Gobierno / City Hall Buenos Aires Ciudad Ofi cial Opening April 1, 2015 Client: Banco Ciudad de Buenos Aires / Buenos Aires City Govern- ment Area: 45,000 m2 Location: Uspallata 3160, Parque Patricios, Buenos Aires. Architect: Foster+Partners Juan Bautista Frigerio MAUD ‘98 Dipl. Arch. AIA CPAU Partner in Charge, Foster+Partners Buenos Aires Ciudad Casa de Gobierno is the new City Hall for Buenos Aires, housing offi ces for the Mayor and 1,500 employees. Spanning an entire city block in Parque Patricios, the new building contributes to the revitalisation of the neigh- bourhood and combines an environmentally effi cient design with an innovative, highly fl exible internal arrangement of terraced offi ce fl oors. The architecture echoes the building’s park-side setting, with landscaped courtyards and shaded walkways, and uses materials that draw on the site’s industrial past to reinforce the unique character of the area. The ‘crown jewel’ at the heart of the technological special entreprise district, the building has been instrumental in the growth of the area whilst giving a new iconic and contemporary image to the City Government. The new “Centro Cultural Kirchner” will play a main role in bringing vibrant life to the most important political and civic center of the city and the country, the “Plaza de Mayo” and Casa Rosada (Government House) area. The proposal suggests a new design of circulation and movement that discourages automobile usage in the city center and facilitates the general organization of the public transport system.

    Vacant Land in Latin America: Challenges and Opportunities Adriana de Araujo Larangeira © 2003 Lincoln Institute of Land Policy Working Paper The findings and conclusions of this paper are not subject to detailed review and do not necessarily reflect the official views and policies of the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy. Please do not photocopy without permission of the author. Contact the author directly with all questions or requests for permission. Lincoln Institute Product Code: WP06AA1 Lincoln Institute of Land Policy The Lincoln Institute of Land Policy is a nonprofit and tax-exempt school organized in 1974, with a specialized mission to study and teach land policy, including land economics and land taxation. The Institute is supported primarily by the Lincoln Foundation, which was established in 1947 by Cleveland industrialist John C. Lincoln. He drew inspiration from the ideas of Henry George, the nineteenth-century American political economist, social philosopher and author of the book Progress and Poverty. The Lincoln Institute aims to integrate theory and practice to better shape land policy and to share understanding about the multidisciplinary forces that influence public policy. The Institute organizes its work in three departments: valuation and taxation; planning and development; and international studies. The Lincoln Institute assembles experts with different points of view to study, reflect, exchange insights, and work toward consensus in creating a more complete and systematic understanding of land policy. The Lincoln Institute does not take a particular point of view, but rather serves as a catalyst to facilitate analysis and discussion of these issues—to make a difference today and to help policy makers plan for tomorrow.

  • Puerto Madero
    Puerto Madero A century after the construction of the old Buenos Aires port, this newly renovated district houses an upscale residential and commercial neighborhood that connects the city center with the Costanera Sur. Location: Puerto Madero is bordered significantly by the Rio de la Plata; it also borders the neighborhoods of San Telmo, Monserrat, San Nicolas, and Retiro. A Little Bit of History: In 1882 engineer and civil servant Eduardo Madero’s design project was chosen amongst many others for the Port of Buenos Aires. Once completed this port was the scene of the massive immigrant arrivals that took place in the late 19th and first half of the 20th century. The edifice complex, located on the north harbor was devoted to the reception of immigrants. Today this complex has been converted into a museum called EX GRAN HOTEL DE IMIGRANTES. Puerto Madero and its buildings were virtually abandoned when the new port (Puerto Nuevo) was built just a short distance north. Puerto Madero remained in deserted dismay until the 1990’s when a complete renovation process began to be implemented. The “new” Puerto Madero exudes radiance as the most cosmopolitan barrio of the city. Safety: Puerto Madero is controlled by “Corporación Puerto Madero”, a private jurisdiction separate from the Federal Police of Buenos Aires. This corporation has its principal office located in the center of Puerto Madero, and their presence is known and seen at all times. This makes Puerto Madero the safest and most secure neighborhood of the city. Restaurants and bars: The most exclusive restaurants in Buenos Aires line the docks that form Puerto Madero.
