Trienal de Arquitectura de Lisboa

2022

Architecture and its enormous civil construction chain have profound implications in the climate emergency process. The cycles of civil construction revolve around extensive planetary extraction and the disposal of the rubble that is intended to be invisible. 


Against the magical and illusionist perception that infrastructures of modernity promote, we present a set of chronicles with different perspectives (real, fictional, or speculative) on the description of the cyclical process of extraction-demolition in civil construction. 


The chronicle is attentive to the situated dimension of our everyday life, up to the smallest part of our experience on Earth. In this minor sense, the chronicle can re-establish a necessary consciousness of people and planet and, at the same time, elicit through the smallest things a full range of planetary problems.

Ruinorama collective

Ruinorama is a collective from Brazil with members from different Brazilian states and universities, that approaches the anthropocene, the multispecies studies, and the afro-indigenous cosmopolitics from the perspective of architecture and urbanism to reflect on the implications of these practices for the extensive planetary transformations and ecological collapse, and to speculate on possible modes of regeneration of environmental protection, historical reparations and care for the e/Earth.
