In 2025, it begins another cycle of Conversas Et al., talks about architecture and surrounding disciplines, with the presence of four studios with established practices. They have a wide range of accomplished works of various scales, from a landscape architecture requalification plan to a social action restaurant. The accomplices invited cross paths with the discipline for informal conversations around an object.

VASSCO + António Sampaio da Nóvoa
Common ground
VASSCO and António Sampaio da Nóvoa reflect upon three works that enhance the ground, the public place: the housing building in Entrecampos, the Gaia Environment Museum and the Geneva Library. How can architecture open up spaces of conviviality and encounter in the city? This is one of the questions the Lisbon studio wants to answer.6 FEB, 18:30
FC Arquitectura Paisagista + Tiago Monteiro Henriques
Living soil
FC Landscape Architecture Studio has chosen a soil monolith from the collection of the Pedology Department of Instituto Superior de Agronomia as the subject of discussion for this talk. By inviting Tiago Monteiro Henriques, a researcher and consultant on the downtown lisbon square Martim Moniz Redevelopment Project, the studio wishes to bring to mind the inestimable value of soil as a founding concept of urban resilience.20 FEB, 18:30
NOARQ + Gémeo Luís
Piece of Puzzle
José Carlos Nunes de Oliveira, founder of the NOARQ studio, and guest Gémeo Luís, an established illustrator in various national and international formats. The conversation is built around a puzzle piece, symbol of the importance of unity in the construction of the whole. The challenge of this moment open to the public is to explore the relevance of contributions in a team and how each one is not only indispensable, but also becomes an antidote to an intellectual and procedural solitude that tends to become stale and sterile.6 MAR, 18:30
SIA Arquitectura + Fernanda Fragateiro
Iron and raffia prototype
Sia studio and the guest Fernanda Fragateiro debate about an iron and raffia prototype. It coincides with a project that the studio and the artist are developing: a restaurant for Amadora City Hall in partnership with the community intervention association CRESCER.
