This ongoing collaborative platform is expanding to accommodate emerging notions of citizenship, images, diagrams, concepts, tools, and processes. The 7th edition of the Lisbon Architecture Triennale is seeking new interdisciplinary ways of understanding how our technological present intersects the fragile dynamics of our living planet. How Heavy is a City? kick-starts a global discussion to outline a new figure in the making. This research culminates in Lisbon in the autumn of 2025.

This website was designed and developed with the primary intent to save graphic and computational resources, inspired by latest research work on the field of permacomputing.
