Art . Architecture Workshop II

December 02 - December 07, 2013. Lisbon

+ Brito.Rodriguez

The international Art . Architecture Workshop II aims to promote the relationship and synergy of two artistic disciplines, through the collaboration established between the architectural studio Brito.Rodriguez and the Dutch artist, Cecilia Vissers. The workshop consists of: design studio, exhibition and lectures.
The aim of the Workshop is to explore the sensorial and emotional experience of moving through a landscape and the contemplative nature of art. The subject of the studio is to create a place of meditation and retreat - spaces of intimacy, reflection and silence for exhibiting Cecilia Vissers' sculpture.
The Art . Architecture Workshop II invites architectural students and young professionals to participate in a creative environment, where they will have the opportunity to create, share, develop and present their design process in proximity to Brito.Rodriguez. The workshop is focused on the design process and final presentation with particular emphasis placed on drawings and computer renderings. Participants will be encouraged to contribute to the discussion of each individual’s work during final presentations, encouraging a dynamic dialogue of the design proposals.
The dialogue between art and architecture emphasizes perceptual awareness, the human dimension of the elements of visual composition and intrinsic values of spatial and formal qualities in art and architecture.

Applications are open to architecture students and young professionals.
The workshop will take place at the atelier of Brito.Rodriguez, December 02 - December 07, 2013 from 9:00 AM - 6:00pm, with a lunch break from 1:00pm - 2:00pm. The official language is English.
