YOUR circle

oct19 - 20. Curatorship and Production

oct 19. meeting between the participants. photo by Thuany Santos. so much me, one point so much space, one circle. The agenda is completely backward, it’s yours, ours, nothing hierarchical. This is YOUR circle. In your/ours house, your space for discussing architecture, professional practice, creative processes, dehierarchization of knowledge. -

The YOUR circle was a group of theoreticalethical meetings to discuss the professional practice of architecture. My role at the TEU TUA space was to create and produce activities around the practice of architecture. With the project YOUR circle, I organized a meeting space for support and motivation, based on the collective experiences. An experience catalyzed with the participation of selected guests with diverse practices.

Competition is the foundation of the architecture school and job market, and despite being a powerful tool to encourage innovation, competitiveness is exhausting for most students and young architects. What we have proposed is, as opposed to competitiveness, community. We meet every two weeks for a year, in the first meeting of the month with guest tutors who brought topics and their experiences to share, and in the second meeting, a moment of intimate sharing among the group’s participants.

YOUR Círculo received as guests: the writer and professor of School of Writing Julie Fank, the architect Victor Dentello of CWBIM, the architect and designer Ana David of Goma Oficina, the architect Emerson Vidigal of Estudio 41, the artists Neto Machado and Jorge Alencar, architect Marcelo Maia from the São Paulo office Andrade Moretin, architects Maria Raquel Rangel and Julio de Luca from Sertão Arquitetos and Cassio Sauer and Elisa Martins from the Sauer Martins office.

TEU TUA was a free space for thinking and acting in architecture based in Curitiba between 2019 and 2020. It was created and developed by me, Thaylini Luz, and by architects Juliano Monteiro and Jéssica Brodhage.
