6th Lisbon Architecture Triennale

MPG sponsors the 6th Lisbon Architecture Triennale 2022

TERRA is the motto for the 6th Lisbon Architecture Triennale, which will take place between October, December 2022. This edition is generally curated by the duo Cristina Veríssimo and Diogo Burnay, the Portuguese duo who founded the architecture studio CVDB, which started the work in 2020 research, promoting a reflection of the different meanings of Earth depending on the scale and the observer.

TERRA expresses the territory, the city, the landscape, the place to which we belong or a continent seen from the sea. It may be a habitable planet or material for cultivation. It may be in excess or it may be lacking and it may be an obstacle or an element in community building. And it is with a sense of emergency that the Triennale 2022 calls for reflection on all these dimensions that are closely related to architecture.
