Activities

A house, a building, a wall, a floor. A stone, a piece of wood, fabrics, cork, and sand. What used to be a house becomes a toy. Not everything is what it seems: in this workshop-installation we invite bodies to play with materials that could be a piece of wall, a window or the remains of a building. An invitation to be on the move, in a carefully prepared space where each one becomes a co-creator of their own experience.

This descriptive and tactile tour for the blind and low vision will raise interest in the potential for intervention in broken and marginalised territories. We will touch models of cities, projects and objects with extraordinary real stories of resilience, opportunity and contemporary solutions. We want you to learn and experience what is being done in various cities around the globe, through public and community initiatives, and architecture studios working on these issues.

We challenge you to adapt to the city of Lisbon a set of open-source cards that are urban design guidelines and cover essential and idiosyncratic city topics. The aim is to facilitate a common vocabulary to empower collective imagination with a tool that is a proactive game for citizens, experts and municipalities to build urban solutions together. In this workshop we will build a prototype with specific examples from the city. HEY! Imaginable Guidelines is an original project by SANALarc studio in Istanbul that is being developed in Lisbon by the Triennale with the Observatório Urbano collective.

There are many cities: with different houses, different paths, different trees, different smells, and the same conversations. What do you need in yours?

Let’s trade stickers: I show you what’s good about mine and I want to know what’s even better in yours! What do we really need to be well and comfortable? What if we put all these recipes together in a common space to make something beautiful happen?

In this workshop we will discover where materials come from, what circularity of resources is, and stimulate critical thinking, all based on the best teacher: Nature. Using creativity, children will discover new ways to take care of the spaces around them based on needs, resources and people who can help them meet their goals at home or at school. In the end, they will be true specialists in reducing, recycling and reusing, always inspired by the cycles of nature.

First you dream. Then… it happens? How is your house of the future? Beautiful, comfortable? Will it make a difference in the world around it? Are you alone or accompanied?

Let’s think about how you can respond, or react, to the great changes our planet Earth is going through. Then we put all the houses together and make a city… or will there be cities in the future as we know them today?

Water that comes or not. Much, too little or none. Swim, if too much; drill if too little. Underneath our feet, tunnels take water from the mountain to the sea passing through our houses. How does it work?

In an action-reaction game, we are going to build a contraption to collect and distribute water at the scale of our city. Each one has a word to say. But together we make our encounter with the forces of nature happen.

The result remains assembled for non-stop play until the end of the day!

This workshop opens the dialogue about the role architecture can play in the transformation of cities, from linear models to circular models, with a view to sustainability. Through a visit to the first up farm, at Parque Hortícola Aquilino Ribeiro Machado, in Alvalade, Parto Atelier proposes not only to explore the role of architecture in this context, but also to promote the debate on the potential of vertical horticulture to promote food self-sustainability.
Using pedagogical tools, we intend to bring the production process closer to consumers, aiming at community self-organisation and socioeconomically sustainable models. We invite participants to get involved practically in the various stages of production, from preparing the substrate to harvesting and making a Zero Km salad!

Gather original materials, gather creative people, and come create new games!

This is an activity that promotes the use of marginalised materials to create more or less known games. Each family chooses the materials and type of game they like best and creates three different combinations. In the end, you take home your favourite.

With these loose materials you can make up your own games because they are used for various things (stacking, hiding, pushing, stuffing, etc.). The ones you see here came to us before they go to waste; they were donated by various people and organisations, and they can now be whatever you desire, whatever your imagination asks for and whatever your will creates. Many children have already used these same materials in many hours of play. Now it’s your chance!

How do we imagine the city in the future? Are we all responsible for the public space we share? So why not think about it collectively?

From a map of places we know and the collection of objects and memories that are part of our daily life, we challenge you to think about how we can plant new ideas for the empty spaces of the city, making it more sustainable, productive and solidary

Palácio Sinel de Cordes has lived many lives and hides small treasures in its rooms, among the garden cobblestones and in its magnificent trees. When its rooms are invaded by strange objects, it gains new treasures and new stories you’ll want to tell. A competition awaits you and your family to explore the Palace and its exhibitions.
