The Ordem dos Arquitectos proposes a dialogue regarding current challenges for a post-pandemic future, intersecting architecture, art, the city, and politics in response to the European Commission President’s call for a New European Bauhaus. The event serves as a debate on new ways of inhabiting space, grounded in the premise of sustainability.

The magazine bears the welcoming name of Engawa. It is welcoming because, as a transitional space, it suggests ideas like hospitality and invitation, or, conversely, projection and openness.

At a time when urbanization has become planetary and humanity has become a geological force capable of profoundly altering Earth's thermodynamic cycles, it is urgent to reinvent the urban way of life and rehearse other forms of coexistence between humans, animals, and plants—between cities, forests, rivers, and mountains. Furthermore, it is urgent to design, with our feet on the ground and in collaboration with the peoples and sciences of the Earth, the conditions for future habitability.
