The sidewalk is the most democratic area of our home—we don't always remember this, but it is indeed part of our home, our building, and we believe it can be a space that goes beyond mere circulation. We view the sidewalk as a place for social interaction, tolerance, and respect for others, where we must engage with people of all genders, races, religions, ages, and social, physical, and mental conditions. In other words, it is a space where the full exercise of citizenship takes place.

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.
