The Architecture Foundation in collaboration with Ordem dos Arquitectos and The British Council are pleased to announce the UK practices selected to take part in the New Architects: Portugal_UK exchange programme. The three exciting emerging UK practices: Carl Turner Architects, KrausSchoenberg and MA Projects, will join Portuguese practices: Joao Prates Ruivo + Raquel Maria Oliveira (now practising as FORA), MOOV and SAMI-arquitectos to act as ambassadors for the architectural scenes in their respective countries.
The UK based architects will visit Lisbon from 20 – 22 October 2010, to coincide with the Lisbon Architecture Triennale - www.trienaldelisboa.com/en, for a programme of intensive workshops, networking events and to present a public lecture at the Museum of Fashion and Design (MUDE) organized by Ordem dos Arquitectos.
