The General Directorate for the Arts deposited in Casa da Arquitectura the collection of Portuguese representations at the Venice Architecture Biennale and it was on these assets that the exhibition works, bringing together projects by some of the most considered names in Portuguese architecture. The Radar Veneza exhibition has a homonymous catalogue with essays by Joaquim Moreno, Alexandra Areia and Léa-Catherine Szacka (architect, critic and specialist at the Venice Biennale).
It is a volume of 392 pages with 32 transcribed interviews to the protagonists of the Portuguese participations in the Biennale between 1975 and 2021, 24 drawings presented in the exhibition and a timeline - space for a panoramic view of the transformations, capable of communicating ideas and general contexts of each Biennial and the specific circumstances of each national representation.
The catalogue “Radar Veneza: Portuguese Architects in the Biennale 1975-2021” is co-edited and produced by Casa da Arquitectura and co-edited by the General Directorate for the Arts, with editions in Portuguese and English.
