Universities Competition presentation tour

NEXT→←PREV

The deadline for applications to the Millennium bcp Lisbon Triennale Universities Competition Award is still open (until 3rd February), and we have been invited for two presentation sessions with Q&As at Portuguese colleges. Although the competition is international, we naturally want to facilitate the representation of Portuguese schools, not least because it serves to project the quality of teaching in Portugal.

With this in mind, and in addition to the international presentation in webinar format (insert link), we started with FA.ULisboa at the Alto da Ajuda University Campus, at the invitation of Stefanos Antoniadis, Professor of Integrated Project I in the Integrated Master's Degree in Architecture, Specialization Profile in Architecture, Urbanism, City and Territory, on November 20, at the Ajuda Campus with the 4th year class.

On November 28, 2024, we headed to Covilhã, at the invitation of Andreia Garcia, to present the 7th edition of the Competition to a class as part of the Project IV unit of the Civil Engineering and Architecture Department of the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Beira-Interior.

This competition is an invitation to schools, research centers and post-academic programs around the world to join in developing the knowledge needed to shape the city of the 21st century. A selection of the best projects will be the content of the three central exhibitions of Triennale 2025 together with a range of participants from various disciplinary fields invited by the curators of Territorial Agency.

How heavy is a city? aims to position itself as an open learning platform oriented towards the challenges of the present and future. The question that shapes the Lisbon Triennale 2025 challenges our current understanding of human spaces: to answer it, we need to investigate a new planetary dimension that encompasses the totality of networked technological artifacts, as well as the flows of energy, materials and information that form them, and rethink notions of citizenship in a world that is profoundly transformed.

We would like to take this opportunity to mention and thank the jury for their valuable participation in this edition.
