Multiplicity

Tau Tavengwa and Vyjayanthi Rao

The Multiplicity exhibition presents the work of individual professionals, architectural studios and organizations from around the world who explore architecture in a multitude of ways. Often operating in difficult environmental, social and political conditions, these professionals are testing the limits of architectural practice. In doing so, they also challenge the antiquated concept of architecture, while reclaiming and redefining it as a powerful tool in the fight for environmental, economic and social equity and justice. A new and agile architecture focused on institutions and the community, and which mirrors and learns from the uncertainties of our time, has been emerging from this process. This exhibition presents a multitude of examples.

Millennium bcp Lisbon Triennial Prize Contest

With an international scope, the Millennium bcp Lisbon Triennial Prize Contest opened a call for proposals to enrich the themes addressed by Multiplicidade, Ciclos, Retroactivar and Visionárias, the four Terra exhibitions.

For the first time, the award assumes two levels of participation through master’s programs and also research. Thus, the aim is to stimulate individual and collective participation in the production of knowledge in, for and about architecture.

The ceremony dedicated to the trilogy of Lisbon Millennium bcp Triennial Awards is scheduled to take place on Friday, September 30, at 6 pm in the charming setting of the library room of the Lisbon Academy of Sciences. Opening with a speech by Marina Tabassum (Career Award Millennium bcp Lisbon Triennial), the ceremony , which is open to the public, also includes presentations by the winning studio of the Début Prize and the winning proposal of the Universities Competition in the research category, introduced by Ilka Ruby, architecture, curator and co-founder of the publishing company Ruby Press.

Cycles

Pamela Prado and Pedro Ignacio Alonso

As an Exclusive patron of CCB Garagem Sul, the Fundação Millennium bcp hosts, at the 6th edition of the Lisbon Architecture Triennial, the exhibition Cycles, which examines architectural practices and contemporary artists who reflect on the past and present of construction, on its relationship with the geopolitics of extractivism and its revision of the notions of history and memory. Moving away from linear models, Cycles exposes architecture’s commitment to the endless process of transformation, exchange and redistribution of matter.
