Associated Projects

BRIEF

The Triennale is looking for national and international independently funded proposals that can be articulated and also complement the central program of the 5th edition of the Lisbon Architecture Triennale, that will take place between October 3rd and December 2nd 2019.

The Associated Projects can be exhibitions, workshops, talks, and this year also film or music events, which deal with crucial problems relating to contemporary architecture and are interested in a lively debate. All these events will make a solid parallel program composed of varied events that ensures Lisbon as a central point in the international architectural debate. We also want it to show a rich independent production of great relevance and value, so essential to the cultural living mechanisms of the city.

The projects should stimulate and question the practice and reflection of rationality in architecture, consolidating the program of this edition and ensuring a broader cultural and creative scope. At the same time, it will give the projects exposure to key audiences and influencers within a well-established national and international event.

Themes

The Triennale 2019, that has as main title “The Poetics of Reason”, will house and promote projects connected to one or more exhibition themes:

1 That investigates how creative imagination is nurtured by an ongoing confrontation with rational thought and devises rational systems to materialize their own visual, physical and mental universe.

2 That is based upon economy of means.

3 That thinks in a critical way the issue of contemporary ornament.

4 That investigates relationships between architecture and permaculture in literal or metaphorical/conceptual ways.

5 That investigates the issue of rational construction in contemporary ways.
