The Casa da Arquitectura (CA) – Portuguese Centre for Architecture and the Assembly of the Republic will inaugurate the exhibition "The House of Democracy: Between Space and Power" tomorrow, February 17, at 5:00 PM in the Casa Gallery. The exhibition explores the intersection between the architectural transformation of the São Bento Palace and the political evolution of Portugal.

Launched last year in Spain and presented internationally for the first time in Milan, Italy, during Milan Design Week, the Arquitetura em Curtas initiative is a series of short films on innovation and trends in contemporary architecture. Its goal: to promote video as a medium for narrating architectural processes.

On Saturday, June 2, at 4:00 PM, the Casa da Arquitectura – Centro Português de Arquitectura will host the presentation of a piece of furniture designed by architect Bartolomeu Costa Cabral for Projecto Martins. The piece will be sold exclusively at the Casa da Arquitectura store in Matosinhos for one year.

"When architecture and urban design project their desire onto a (…) a terrain vague, they seem incapable of doing anything other than introducing violent transformations, changing estrangement into citizenship, and striving at all costs to dissolve the uncontaminated magic of the obsolete into the realism of efficacy. (…) Today, intervention in the existing city, in its residual spaces, in its folded interstices can no longer be either comfortable or efficacious in the manner postulated by the modern movement's efficient model of the enlightened tradition. How can architecture act in the terrain vague without becoming an aggressive instrument of power and abstract reason? Undoubtedly, through attention to continuity: not the continuity of the planned, efficient, and legitimized city, but of the flows, the energies, the rhythms established by the passing of time and the loss of limits... we should treat the residual city with a contradictory complicity that will not shatter the elements that maintain its continuity in time and space." Terrain Vague, Sola Morales, 1995

ISCTE-IUL is organizing an important initiative titled "Diving into the South of Raúl Hestnes Ferreira" (a Portuguese architect), which will take place on June 4, 5, and 6, 2018. The event will consist of a trip bringing together researchers, professionals, and architecture students to reflect on the ways of designing, building, teaching, and experiencing the architecture of Raúl Hestnes Ferreira. This year, which coincides with his passing at the age of 86, we intend to revisit a significant collection of the architect's works located south of Lisbon. Alongside the visits, reflections, and testimonies from collaborators who participated in the various projects, the goal is to revive the memory of Raúl Hestnes Ferreira's unique and transcultural journey between Portugal, Finland, and the United States.

To celebrate its 7th anniversary, the publisher and publication AMAG is offering a 50% promotional discount to all its subscribers on the online purchase of the AAICO FULL TICKET, which grants access to a workshop, attendance at all conferences, the AAICO kit, and a choice of one issue of AMAG magazine.
