Garagem Sul at Centro Cultural de Belém—the Lisbon gallery dedicated to architecture—will open the exhibition At Home: Projects for Contemporary Housing, on 10 February. Originally presented at the MAXXI, the National Museum of XXI Century Arts collection in Rome, the show is an invitation to reflect on the houses we live in.

This exhibition analyses the investigations and answers to these questions through the work of several architects.

Eight internationally renowned photographers, ISIA teachers were invited to tell the story of De Carlo’s work in Urbino today, in response to the architect’s invitation to re-evaluate the last phase of the project, the one usually overlooked in the evaluation of results. In L’Architettura della partecipazione he exposes how often the representation of architecture does not include the people who live in it, while according to him, a place is a space ‘’experienced, consumed, perpetually transformed by human presence”. Paola Binante, Luca Capuano, Mario Cresci, Paola De Pietri, Jason Fulford, Stefano Graziani, Armin Linke, Giovanna Silva, explore and recount the nature of his lesson through photography.

The Istituto Centrale per la Grafica in Rome and the Museum for Architectural Drawing in Berlin present an exhibition by the architect and draughtsman Sergei Tchoban. A native of St Petersburg who has organically absorbed the harmony of this city’s proportionality and similitude, Sergei Tchoban has always striven to understand the laws which govern the development of cities like St Petersburg and the great prototypes in whose image it was created. Is it possible to preserve these cities’ outstanding quality? And is it possible to pursue this quality today, at the current stage of development of architecture? These are the central questions posed in the present exhibition, which marks the 300th anniversary of the birth of Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720 – 1778). One of the greatest artists of his time, Piranesi succeeded in capturing the development of the European city as a phenomenon which, despite many layers and internal contradictions, is nevertheless harmonious.

Architects love to talk about design, space, and buildings. Within the field, they have a language all their own; the way architects communicate is unique.
The founding principles of civilizations are done through urban cultures nourished by symbols, utopias to engrave identity references and generate memory of places. Thus the fundamental values of our environment such as architecture, the nature city are a vector of social relationships and unification.
