How Heavy Is a City? This question instigates a three-year research project into the complex set of transformations of both the city and its backdrop, revealing a new figure in the making with a magnitude of planetary dimensions. To make sense of these transformations and sort out the underlying agencies, a re-assembly of architecture and what it means to build a collective environment is required.
The 7th Lisbon Triennale explores emerging forms of cooperation and mutuality, establishing a new unit to evaluate architecture to recast its role as a driver of debate. In the autumn of 2025, the Lisbon Triennale will transform into a public platform for learning, experience, curiosity, inquiry, debate, delight, outrage, speculation, transgression, imagination, and action about the possible futures of cohabitation.
