CAAU - Student Association Architecture and Urbanism Department

Reelected in 2016 with more than a third of the alumni’s vote, the current CAAU team is composed by the students: João Marcos Gonzaga, Lucas Coelho Netto, Rafael Magioli, Eduardo Romano, Mateus Pires, Kamissy Poletto, Bruno Bins, Rhaísa Capella e Victória Jeronymo. As members of the CAAU, our main goal for this year is to represent the student’s desire before the coordination, teachers and rectory, creating a transparent and direct channel of communication, that can be improved every time.

In our current agenda, we seek to carry out long-awaited actions by students, such as the organization of lectures, events, competitions and exhibitions, as well as the open discussion between students and teachers in favor of a curricular reform. Our goal is to expand the boundaries of the course by creating a dynamic environment of collaborative knowledge that connects the academic and professional worlds. Over the past year, we invited 20 speakers to address a variety of subjects, which increased the visibility of the course and promoted interaction with members of different universities.

Since 2016, we organized the following events:

- Food donation to the Krenaks (victims of the Rio Doce disaster)
- “Trote do amor”
- Toys donation to the Children’s day party of PUC employees
- The challenges of new architects in the job market (GRUA, CI-AA, OCO, Studio Motim, RVBA, Estúdio Guanabara)
- 30H Competition (more than 130 participants from 11 universities)
- 30H Results exhibition at PUC-Rio

And we also participated in the following activities:

- Inspirations of an architect and designer, with Isay Weinfeld
- A life dedicated to architecture and urbanism: Indio da Costa
- Ser Urbano 2016
- Magna Class 2017 with Raquel Rolnik
- ReConvexo competition
- Graduation projects review and exhibition 2016.2

There is still a lot to be done and for that we would like to count with the support of all academic community – students, professors and employees – to build a rich environment of intense knowledge exchange. CAAU is an organization open to suggestions, critics and everybody’s participation. CAAU is of and for students!
