Dia a Dia is an editorial, performative and participative project.
It will be specially produced, edited and printed for the XII São Paulo International Architecture Biennale, by Team 614.

Team 614 was chosen among 760 applications thanks to its unprecedented project. We will produce and broadcast a daily magazine for 15 days within the Centro Cultural São Paulo (CCSP).

With our project – the creation of a daily magazine called “Dia a dia” – we want to give a tribune to a multitude of everyday stories on which the imaginations of our contemporary cities are built. Its goal: to highlight different practices, conceptions, and feelings of day-to-day space.

About Dia a Dia:

• 15 issues
• 16 pages (color and black&white, riso, A4 and A3 inserts) by issue
• 200 copies by issue
• 1 website
• 1 daily presence on social networks

Openness and collaboration: Dia a Dia will present the work of an international network of contributors. Architects, illustrators, artists, writers, photographers or researchers; they all take a singular look - be it tender, critical, detached or analytical - about our daily lives and the most banal and ordinary spaces that make up our urban experiences.

We will settle for 3 weeks inside and outside the walls of the CCSP where the biennale is held, to produce 15 issues that will be broadcast locally and in a selection of places in the city.

XII São Paulo International Architecture Biennale will focus on three themes: Daily Stories, Daily Resources, and Daily Maintenance. Each of the axes chosen by the curators (Vanessa Grossman, Charlotte Malterre-Barthes and Ciro Miguel) will present architectural and urban projects, research, conceptual installations, as well as other interventions dealing with contemporary dynamics of the ordinary world at different scales: from the body to objects, from inner spaces to the city, and to the planetary boundaries.

Hosting 70 exhibitors from 25 different countries and 250,000 visitors during the three months of the event, the twelfth edition of this biennale is a major cultural event with international influence.

614 is a multidisciplinary collective structured as an association and composed of two architects, a graphic designer, an urban planner, a cultural programmer, a writer, and an artist. Its work focuses on the links between space and writing, so as to emancipate traditional representations of architecture.

614 develops its research through different cultural projects: workshops, publishing, conferences, teaching, etc.
