Overlappings: Six Portuguese Architecture Studios

03 June 2009 - 02 July 2009

Mon-Sat 10.00-17.00 except Tues 10.00- 21.00

Venue:

Gallery 1, RIBA

Description:

Aires Mateus, Bak Gordon, Inês Lobo, João Favila, Paulo David Ricardo Carvalho, Joana Vilhena

Focussing on the work of six young Portuguese architects' studios, this exhibition highlights the breadth of practice in a country which continues to provide such an exciting context for contemporary architecture – particularly appropriate in a year which has seen Álvaro Siza as the recipient of the Royal Gold Medal.

The exhibition, consisting of models and drawings, explores the themes of locality, territory, permanence and cultural significance in the work of this cross-section of Portuguese architectural practice, explored through schemes including a high school, art centre, library and hotel. A presentation from Jonathan Sergison of Sergison Bates Architects accompanies the display.
