"How heavy is a city, and what does that weight mean for our collective future? This provocative question guides the 7th edition of the Lisbon Architecture Triennale, which proposes an inquiry into the transformations of urban life and the material, social, and environmental consequences of inhabiting the planet today. From October 2 to December 8, Lisbon will once again host one of Europe's most significant architectural events."
"Curated by Ann-Sofi Rönnskog and John Palmesino, founders of the practice Territorial Agency, the Triennale investigates the magnitude of contemporary cities and their planetary impact. Composed of nearly 30 trillion tons of materials, global cities form a dense and intricate web of continuously evolving structures. To unpack these complexities, the Triennale opens itself as a space of learning, curiosity, imagination, and debate - a meeting ground for architects, researchers, artists, and the wider public."
Cities are described as massive material assemblages totaling nearly 30 trillion tons, whose accumulated mass produces social, environmental, and planetary consequences. The Lisbon Architecture Triennale runs October 2–December 8 and frames urban life through inquiry into material, social, and environmental transformations. Curators Ann-Sofi Rönnskog and John Palmesino foreground the magnitude and planetary impact of contemporary cities. Global cities form dense, intricate webs of continuously evolving structures that demand interdisciplinary attention. The Triennale functions as a public space for learning, curiosity, imagination, and debate, convening architects, researchers, artists, and the wider public to unpack urban complexities.
