How Heavy is a City? This question instigates a three-year research project into the complex set of transformations of both the city and its backdrop, revealing a new figure in the making with a magnitude of planetary dimensions. To make sense of these transformations and sort out the underlying agencies, a re-assembly of architecture and what it means to build a collective environment is required.

Open House Lisboa, now in its 14th edition, returns this year on the weekend of 10 and 11 May with the theme "The Invention of Lisbon". Organised by the Lisbon Architecture Triennale and curated by architects Daniela Sá and João Carmo Simões, the event features a list of 72 spaces, 23 of which are making their debuts on the festival's itinerary. The programme also includes four new Urban Tours, which will be presented and accompanied by experts; the Accessible Tours, which will include 21 spaces in 2025; Soundwalks; the Plus and Junior Programme, with various activities.
