Conference ‘The Value of Architecture in Society’

On World Architecture Day, 6 October, Casa da Arquitectura in Matosinhos will host the International Conference ‘The Value of Architecture in Society’, organised by the Order of Architects in partnership with the Architects' Council of Europe.

The event will be attended by representatives from various European counterparts, including Germany, Spain, Italy, Poland and Croatia, providing a platform to discuss common challenges facing the profession and share experiences. The conference will be held in English, with simultaneous translation into Portuguese.

The main objective of the conference is to analyse the remuneration of architects in different countries and reflect on the consequences of this reality on the quality of services provided.

For the Order of Architects, this debate is essential to address what it considers to be the biggest problem facing the profession: low remuneration, inadequate fees, lack of regulation and excessive bureaucracy. The initiative also aims to promote solutions that ensure fair competition and value the work of architects.

Those interested in participating can register using the form available on the Order of Architects website.
