Porto: The Latest Architecture and News

'Slow Down!', the theme for the 9th edition of Arquiteturas Film Festival, brings the festival to Porto and offers an international platform for discussing and disseminating architectural production through films, exhibitions and debates.

Porto Academy is the result of an enormous passion for architecture as a discipline. Porto Academy started in 2013 as a manifesto of pluralism and opportunity based on close tuition from a diverse range of architects, artists and curators. It is an alternative educational experience, unburdened by established rules or dogmas, where students learn first hand from the singular visions of practice exemplified by invited tutors.

In 2021, “Matter. The white conferences”, in partnership with Docomomo Internacional and the Faculty of Architecture of the University of Porto, among other institutions, celebrates the 100th anniversary of Mário Bonito’s birth (1921-1976), a modern architect from Oporto, linked to the inception of the renowned “Porto School of Architecture”, with a strong connection to cinema and active participation in theatre. Through a set of actions, we aim to discuss Mário Bonito’s lines of thought and multidisciplinary body of work, which we would like to expand and deepen through the pursuit of authorial readings on contemporary matters.
