About Event:

In architecture, as in art and design, Italy and Portugal have shared some fundamental characteristics over the last hundred years that determine lines of direct collaboration and profound affinity.The two countries are certainly connected by their geographical location, in the centre of the Mediterranean and on the fringes of Europe, thus on the 'border' - physical or cultural - of different geographies. This position has not prevented - but perhaps even favoured - the cultural if not economic success of the two architectural and, more generally, creative cultures.The aim of the conference is therefore to begin a reconstruction of the framework of exchanges that have linked Portuguese and Italian architectural culture throughout the 20th century and up to the present day, with a non-exclusive focus on the following areas: architecture and politics modernism, modernity anonymous architecture architecture and travel architecture and photography architecture of the city schools, masters, genealogies project practices publishing and international exhibitions - Art and Architecture Biennales intersections between architecture, design and art
