EVENT: Lecture: Dos Museos Romanos, Rafael Moneo. Online, 22 April, 2021. 

The ISCTE Department of Architecture and Urbanism has organized a series of open lectures on the period between Romanisation and the Enlightenment, seen in the light of our days, that constitutes the cycle of conferences History in the Practices of the Present. In these sessions, the department seeks to reveal to a young audience the importance of historical research for an informed debate on contemporary architecture. The historians Ricardo Lucas Branco and Ana Pagará have participated in these sessions, but also the architects João Luís Carrilho da Graça, Pedro Domingos and Gonçalo Byrne.

The next session, Dos Museos Romanos, will take place on Zoom on 22 April, 2021, at 14:30 (Lisbon time), and will be lectured by Pritzker prize winner Rafael Moneo. The event will be held in Spanish. Attendance is free and can be accessed through this link.
