Session VI. Women | Architecture | RE:EVOLUTION

The realization and life of cities are reflections of the power and decision-making structures of the societies that sustain them. Given this, in a patriarchal society, can we expect women to have effective space, voice, and agency in the decisions that shape their daily lives?

"For us a book is a small building" is the title of the exhibition Fernanda Fragateiro is presenting at Galeria BAGINSKI. The title draws on a quote by British architect Alison Smithson that holds significant meaning within Fragateiro’s body of work, effectively serving as a synthesis of her artistic practice. The exhibition focuses on Robin Hood Gardens, an iconic social housing project designed by Alison and Peter Smithson, whose recent demolition—condemned by architects, artists, and critics—represents the erasure of a period defined by significant social policies in the United Kingdom.

Session IV. EXPANDING PRACTICE

The Roca Lisboa Gallery invites you to attend the first session of the conversation series "Spaces for Women Architects," organized by Roca and the Association of Women in Architecture.

The ARQUITETURAS FILM FESTIVAL LISBON—the only international film and architecture festival in Portugal—will hold its 6th edition from June 6 to 10 at the Fórum Lisboa and Cinema City Alvalade.

In Portuguese architecture, the quest to understand the slow integration of women into the profession is a recent discussion. However, debates regarding Women in Architecture or the relationship between feminism and architecture began at least in the 1970s and extend beyond women's rights. They have materialized through meetings, literature, and individual and collective paths that contribute to the theoretical and practical transformation of architecture.

Session V. ON POLITICS

FORMAL INFORMAL is a new solo exhibition by Francisco Nogueira, a Lisbon-based photographer trained as an architect. The photographs were made over six years across the Cape Verdean islands of São Vicente, Santo Antão and Santiago, and explore the idea of an architecture without architects, vernacular, informal, built in the time between a desire and its realisation. The exhibition opens on 16 July at Arquivo Aires Mateus, Lisbon.
