Poder Arquitectura

“Poder Arquitectura” is the inaugural exhibition for the new headquarters of the Portuguese Casa de Arquitectura, located in the renovated buildings of the Real Vinicola in Matosinhos, Porto.

A structured reflection around “powers that align, inflect and diverge”, Poder Arquitectura questions the ways in which contemporary society and architecture work together.

The resulting cartography isolates eight powers: collective, normative, technological, economic, domestic, cultural, mediatic, ritual.
