Architecture in Context of Emergency: an urgent debate
Casa's 6th anniversary

<1/24>

"Architecture in a Context of Emergency" is the theme that, at the Álvaro Siza Space, will bring together Lígia Nunes, Maria Neto and Pedro Gadanho on Friday 17th from 5.30pm for a conversation, moderated by Miguel Veríssimo, on issues relating to environmental, social and economic sustainability and models for building cities in times of social and environmental crisis with a view to optimising resources and means.

This debate aims to question how moments of crisis or transformation can enhance, challenge and unleash new opportunities for climate transition, mobility and energy efficiency in the territory and cities.
With the support of the Ministry for the Environment and Climate Action, the debate will be accompanied by a video installation in the Luis Ferreira Alves Space dedicated to the theme in question.
Admission is free to both events.
