CLOSE, CLOSER: Beatrice Galilee in lecture

Curator of Lisbon Architecture Trienniale 2013

0047 in collaboration with 120 HOURS 2013 is proud to announce Beatrice Galilee in lecture Wednesday February 13, 7 PM, at 0047.

And yet, for all its quality, this architecture, the conditions in which it came to be and the working methods of its author is far away from what I believe constitutes a relevant, responsible and necessary dialogue of global architectural practice today. The craft and beauty of most built architecture is well known celebrated, praised and awarded. To situate it in contemporary language, it belongs to the 1%.

For three months in Lisbon, in autumn 2013, we are interested in the 99%.”
