The Lisbon Architecture Triennale is an open platform\u00a0for debate, research and promotion of contemporary\u00a0architecture founded in 2007. Unique in the Iberian\u00a0Peninsula, it operates in a disciplinary field that benefits\u00a0of great world recognition due to Portuguese architects\u00a0who have over the years consolidated their presence\u00a0outside Portugal making a mark in the international\u00a0cultural scene.\u00a0An invitation was made to architects Andr\u00e9 Tavares\u00a0and Diogo Seixas Lopes to share the chief curatorship of\u00a0this edition, something with no precedent in the Lisbon\u00a0Triennale\u2019s history. From Porto and Lisbon, respectively,\u00a0this curator duo presents a solid career grounded in\u00a0the multiplicity of practices, both in built work as in the\u00a0production of architectural theory and criticism.\u00a0Diogo Seixas Lopes passed away in February, when\u00a0the preparation work for the Triennale was already\u00a0consolidated. The best homage the Triennale can do to\u00a0him is to accomplish the work he conceived and, in that\u00a0sense, conclude the project as it was designed.
\nThe world is transformed through architecture. Under the\u00a0title The Form of Form, this fourth edition of the Lisbon\u00a0Triennale sets out to further the debate around a wide\u00a0spectrum of contemporary approaches to architectural\u00a0practice today; in other words, to debate the ways in\u00a0which the world is transformed.\u00a0With its diverse yet cohesive programme, the\u00a0Triennale will seek to highlight currents of thought\u00a0considered important for the production of architecture\u00a0in a social context that is in constant transformation.\u00a0The different perspectives on architecture will be\u00a0presented through their aesthetic, technical, social\u00a0and political aspects. Understanding architecture as a\u00a0profession that is committed to a complex social context\u00a0will make it possible to further advance the implications\u00a0and possibilities of architectural decisions, enhancing\u00a0their technical and cultural importance in society.<\/p>\n
