Lisbon

Tuesday 2 – Friday 12 April 2013

Lisbon is a unique field for experimentation: an enjoyable city with a growing problem – 4,000 vacant buildings that impose a persistent environmental, economic and cultural burden. Can fresh ideas, innovative strategies and audacious design stimulate the city’s imagination and conquer the problem? While discovering challenges and opportunities unique to this city, participants in the course will learn digital design, discuss their vision for urban transformation and make an installation for public exhibition. The AAVSLX is collaboration between the AA and the Lisbon Architecture Triennale, the main architectural event in the Iberian Peninsula. Joining architectural education and culture, the initiative brings the AA’s workshop format to the Triennale’s headquarters for 11 days of learning and production, and is open to students and young professionals from around the world.
