"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.

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.
