The "Archivo Provisional" (Provisional Archive) exhibition initiates a research process centered on the Chilean Architecture and Urbanism Biennial. The exhibition aims to build a documentary body based on the architecture biennial—allowing it to be understood as a subject of historical research—and to share this documentation with both general and specialized audiences. It views the act of exhibiting as the construction of common goods for collective research into the intersection of architecture and the public sphere.

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.
