Throughout the afternoon, six meetings will be held, with themes ranging from the influence of colors and neuroarchitecture to housing and retrofit issues.

Highlights include CASACOR cast members such as Ricardo Abreu, Marcelo Salum, Marta Calasans, Beatriz Quinelato and Alê Salles, who join specialists and guests to discuss how architecture and interior design are able to welcome, protect, and transform lives, especially in contexts of vulnerability.
