The duo Manuel and Francisco Aires Mateus, Ricardo Bak Gordon, João Luis Carrilho da Graça and Álvaro Siza Vieira are the architects representing Portugal at the 12th International Architecture Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia. Parallel to the presentation of projects from the 4 architecture studios, the exhibition also includes 4 fiction films by the artists Filipa César, João Onofre, João Salaviza, and Julião Sarmento, which reveal these houses’ relationship with their surroundings.
