Trienal de Arquitectura de Lisboa The third Lisbon Architecture Triennale has launched his theme: CLOSE, CLOSER Close, Closer is conceived to examine the political, tech- nological, emotional, institutional and critical forms of global spatial practice. By publicly interrogating the terminology, practicalities, inspirations, inventions and their influences on the city, spatial practice are opend, one part of which is architecture, to be closer to vital new audiences and new publics. From within their discipline, architects strive to expand their practice through political, social theory, literature and philosophy. For the third Lisbon Architecture Triennale, the plurality of spatial practice will be presented as a multidimensional active and accessible idea. In September 2013 in Lisbon, four curatorial projects: Future Perfect, The Real and other Fictions, The Institute Effect and New Publics will examine distinct and discrete realms of spatial practice. From a laboratory of the future through to distorted atmospheres and political lobbying, the programme is intended to provide polar experiences and interpretations of spatial practice. The Crisis Buster small grants programme is an alternative to an open international competition. By inviting proposals for civic-minded interventions Triennial will invest and support the city’s entrepreneurs as well as encouraging architects and their collaborators to think about what small amountcould do to their local environment (awarding a number of grants ranging from €500 to €2,500 specifically for Lisbon based proposals). |
