Guided tour of the exhibition Natural Beauty, which explores how the rational nature of construction can embody a form of natural beauty, as an internal coherence of the architectural artefact.

To perform a simple task in an extremely complicated manner. This is the basis of a Rube Goldberg machine – the cartoonist inventor whose legacy continues to inspire and entertain in animations and videos. All you have to do is activate a piece with one simple movement, and a curious and spectacular circuit unfolds. Kinetic […]

In this workshop we’ll explore cameraless photography techniques, both digital (scanography) and historical (Van Dyke Brown), to dive into the microstructure of natural elements collected in the vicinity of Palácio Sinel de Cordes, observing its formulas and geometric progressions. The photographic prints will be the starting point for the exploration of the image through direct […]

This workshop presents the fundamentals of Permaculture and its applications in urban context. A system of agricultural and social principles, it offers practical tools that inspire solutions to everyday challenges. It also proposes a design method for sustainable, socially fair and ecologically sound human habitats as an alternative to existing land planning practices. The two-day […]

We have invited Paulo Palma for a guided tour to Instituto Superior de Agronomia, located at Tapada da Ajuda, not far from Belém. This School of Agriculture is the largest and most qualified school of graduate and post-graduate degrees in the Agricultural Sciences, in Portugal, and its know-how is recognized nationally and internationally.

In the context of the exhibition curated by Sébastien Marot showcased at CCB – Garagem Sul, we propose a tour to an iconic Greenhouse in Lisbon – Estufa Fria – that has multiple connections with the themes addressed by Agriculture and Architecture. On this special visit with one of the authors of the Estufa Fria rehabilitation […]

Throughout time, architecture has been used as a tool to express power. There are manifestations of dominance and political significance behind spatial configurations, buildings and artefacts. Traumnovelle propose the analysis of Caixa Geral de Depósitos’ headquarters as a case study of the use of ornament in an institutional context. Through architectural depictions, the workshop explores […]

Guided tour of the exhibition Inner Space, which investigates the construction of architectonic imagination through the intersection of the individual and collective inner and outer realities. These imaginary territories will be traversed and inhabited, further allowing an analysis on the way this type of imagination goes beyond architecture, nurturing other disciplines.

Guided tour of the exhibition What is Ornament?, pointing out the ambivalent character of ornament and its omnipresence in the history of architecture. Between repulsion and excess, the ornamentality of constructive elements reflects the cycle of ascetic modernism, postmodernist rhetoric and ambivalent mannerist movements. And what is the contemporaneity of ornament? Is there a risk […]

Of the numerous possible readings of this exhibition, a few will be made in these visits. From historical perspectives of civilizational and technological evolution, population growth and diversification of societal organization, distribution of wealth and land occupation and correlations with food production – our immediate energy source – and the consumption of resources that “feed” […]

A collection of objects, fragments, pieces, form a library of possibilities, an atlas. We work with these elements as tools to face a series of challenges. Julio Gotor Valcárcel proposes solving three-dimensional puzzles in which the important thing is not the accumulation of these elements but their order, their structure, their logic. Challenges that arouse […]

With the industrialization of food, the current models of time optimisation and the exponential growth of cities, we gradually lose grasp of food production, trapped in thea consumer position of consumers. In this workshop, Klodiana Millona gives back to the kitchen its place of fundamental space of dialogue, placing the dining table at its center. […]

Lisbon’s history merges with that of the  conquest of the ocean. In its architectural landmarks, the city evokes water and rationality as infrastructures of expansion, and manifests its role in the European colonial project. In this operatic performance, Lodovica Guarnieri proposes to re-enact the city’s built heritage as the material coalescence of a collective imaginary. […]

Bringing to the forefront the parallels between systematic classification and self-generative form, this workshop addresses the themes of type and strategy in the main exhibition “Economy of Means”. In three days of debate, the Swiss collective F.A.T. moderates conversations with students, professors and practitioners to deconstruct fundamental concepts in architecture,  from their original classical meanings […]

This workshop is an introduction to the fundamentals of Permaculture and its applications in urban context. A set of agricultural and social principles, it offers practical tools that inspire solutions to day-to-day challenges. It also proposes a design method for sustainable, socially just and ecologically healthy human habitats, as an alternative to current land planning […]

Guided tour to the exhibition Economy of Means. Selected themes will be addressed in order to translate the concept of economy as a precondition for a rational architecture, through a classification of historical and contemporary examples of projects, treaties and references to architecture.
