Discover the groundbreaking work of Sérgio Ferro, a Brazilian architect and theorist, in a thought-provoking talk titled "Sérgio Ferro, Architectural History From Below." This event delves into Ferro's remarkable contributions to the field of architecture and how they challenge conventional perspectives. As one of the most radical architects of his generation, Ferro's ideas have global significance and have reshaped the way we perceive architecture today.

Born in Curitiba, Brazil in 1932, Ferro's architectural journey began at the Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism at the University of São Paulo. There, he established Arquitetura Nova, a group known for their highly innovative and cost-effective housing designs using vault structures between 1960 and 1970. However, Ferro's political activities led to his imprisonment during Brazil's military regime. He eventually found exile in France, where he continues to live and work.

Ferro's insights and reflections on architecture are compiled in his renowned publication, "Arquitetura e Trabalho Livre" (Architecture and Free Work), released in 2006. To shed light on Ferro's transformative ideas, the event will feature José Lira, a distinguished professor of architectural history at the University of Sao Paulo. Lira's extensive knowledge and experience in the field make him a fitting collaborator for the AHRC/FAPESP-funded project, "Translating Ferro," conducted in conjunction with Newcastle University.

The event will be chaired by Richard Williams, a respected figure in contemporary visual cultures. It will take place at the Elliot Seminar Room, Minto House (MIN_2.403) in Edinburgh on April 1, 2024. This is a hybrid event, offering both in-person and online attendance options. Further details will be shared closer to the date, and any accessibility requirements can be addressed by emailing eca.events@ed.ac.uk.

Edinburgh Castle is worth a visit. It is an important symbol of Scotland and Edinburgh. It is located on the top of the Castle Rock in Edinburgh. It is very obvious and can be seen from every corner of the city center. It is 120 meters above sea level and you can overlook the whole city of Edinburgh from above.

&quot;Bagpipes sound from afar, I only care about your news.
The castle keeps secrets for love, and I keep memories for you.&quot;
This is the location of Jay Chou&#39;s MV &quot;Obviously&quot;,
and it is also the birthplace of J.K. Rowling&#39;s creation of &quot;Harry Potter&quot;.
If you dream of a medieval city in a magical world,
then you must come here in this life.
Every building is a natural movie background,
and every corner seems to hide a secret passage to another world.
In the end, when the sunset on Calton Hill confiscated time,
Edinburgh, becoming amber that never fades, will always remain in my memory.
