The Exhibition Tradition is Innovation wishes to present a point of view about the present and future of portuguese architecture. 8 architecture studios present their creative process, critical thought and responsibility as architects regarding the contemporary society, in video-interview format.
Tradition is Innovation presents 15 projects, built in the last 5 years, by the architecture offices of Eduardo Souto de Moura, João Ventura Trindade, Ricardo Carvalho and Joana Vilhena, Ricardo Bak Gordon, Manuel Aires Mateus, Inês Vieira da Silva and Miguel Vieira, João Luís Carrilho da Graça, and Nuno Brandão Costa, which reflect a particular political, economical and territorial context.
With an experimental exhibition structure - video-interview - this exhibition wishes to question “What is an architecture exhibition?”.
