Conferência «Arte e Arquitetura entre Lisboa e Bagdade»

«An Alternative Future» apresenta uma conferência com um arquiteto de renome. No dia seguinte, será realizada uma apresentação e discussão de cinco coletivos de arquitetos criativos selecionados no call for ideas da Future Architecture Platform, seguido de debate aberto com o público. Os coletivos são convidados a refletir sobre os temas da exposição Arte e Arquitetura entre Lisboa e Bagdade e a partilhar as suas investigações e o seu trabalho à luz de um pensamento interdisciplinar que responda aos desafios emergentes dos diálogos entre o Oriente e o Ocidente, com enfoque específico no Médio Oriente e o conflito que aí se vive.

Esta é uma iniciativa da Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian enquanto membro da Future Architecture Platform, projeto cofinanciado pela União Europeia no Programa Europa Criativa.

Architecture vs Politics
TAB Collective: Wilhelm Scherübl, ThereseLeick, Philippe Jans e Charles Rauchs

Society is in a constant transition. From space to space, city to city or continent to continent. As people from the western parts of the world, this movements nearly have no restrictions. We think of the world as a space we can move around as we wish, often forgetting that it is a privilege. The possibility of moving creates our perception of space. An individual reality is created by experiences, memories and desires - this perception is often limited by spatial rules, political restrictions and various limitations.

The Political Church
Martin Pohl e Michael Kraus

The Political Church investigates how we approach contested heritage and convert it into readable objects in post-conflict debates. By linking various sites of unwanted, politically charged or differently contested architecture and spaces we enable a shift towards an active and continuous form of exchange. Reflecting on the interdependence between the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation and Baghdad we'd like to foster a broader awareness of what actually makes buildings “political“.

If These Walls Could Talk
RESOLVE: Akil Scafe-Smith, Maisha Scafe-Smith e Gameli Ladzekpo

Today, with most of Earth’s population in cities and closer together than ever, separation, exclusion, and marginalization are paradoxically some of our most pressing social and spatial issues. Reflecting on a selection of our built, theoretical, and prospective projects, we will look critically at the utility of temporary spatial interventions in deconstructing the boundaries that divide us.

In Articulo Mortis
Tania Tovar Torres

There they lie, sitting over apparent rock. Only their memory knows what they hold inside. Looking at them, they transform in a multitude of colors and times, for they have been in many different eyes. They are only memory and the remembrance locked in someone else’s mind. In a place where uncertainty rules over the land, only the memories of those iconic buildings standing in the dessert are left behind. For looking at their stories before their sudden demise is the only way to keep them alive.

CARTHA
Francisco Moura Veiga e Rubén Valdez

Cartha's research on the frame of the Alternative Future conference is based on the interventions - built, unbuilt and demolished- by foreign institutions and architects, with a special focus on the ones by the Gulbenkian Foundation, in Baghdad through the lenses of Building Identity.
