Por Portas e Janelas

In the episode of Por Portas e Janelas dedicated to the Interespécies exhibition held at MAC/CCB, we explore the research of Mariana Pestana, the curator of this project.

The conversation traces the development of the exhibition, from the collective research and residencies held at the CCB to the various architectural experiences. Drawing on post-humanist thought, the episode challenges the notion that architecture should respond solely to human needs and explores the relationships between people, materials, technologies, and nature.

Spanning interdisciplinarity, bioregional practices, and new ways of working with materials, the conversation also addresses the role of experimental architecture and practices that emerge on the fringes of dominant models. An episode about uncertainty, imagination, and hope as tools for envisioning other possibilities for the future of architecture.
