criticism . media . memory: architectural transatlantic dialogues

17.09.2024

We are delighted to present the II Colloquium criticism . media . memory: architectural transatlantic dialogues. This event is a collaborative initiative between several prominent institutions on both sides of the Atlantic, including Escola Superior Artística do Porto, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, Universidade de São Paulo, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid and Goethe University Frankfurt am Main.

Scheduled to take place at Centro de Estudos Arnaldo Araújo at Escola Superior Artística do Porto, Porto (CCEA Portugal), from October 29 to 31, 2024. In this edition, the colloquium seeks to explore the history of architectural criticism through a transatlantic lens. It seeks to unravel how terms such as “World,” “International,” “Global,” and “Transnational” shape and are shaped by the architectural criticism discourse.
