How Heavy is a City? This question instigates a three-year research project into the complex set of transformations of both the city and its backdrop, revealing a new figure in the making with a magnitude of planetary dimensions. To make sense of these transformations and sort out the underlying agencies, a re-assembly of architecture and what it means to build a collective environment is required.
The next edition of the Triennale of Lisbon aims to open a public space of learning, experience, curiosity, inquiry, debate, delight, outrage, speculation, transgression, imagination and action about the possible futures of cohabitation. How heavy is a city? explores emerging forms of cooperation and mutuality, establishing a new unit to evaluate architecture to recast its role as a driver of debate.
The Independent Projects call welcomes thought-provoking proposals from the arts, sciences and architecture.

Any self-funded projects can apply and the Triennale’s Cultural Centre will host a few from the pool of 12 selected proposals. The deadline is January 20, 2025. Check the guidelines.
