LAB@S+A Duarte Gonçalves | An approach to composite materials
Event
15/10/2024 | 4 PM
View more

Antes da industrialização, a maioria dos produtos era feita de materiais compostáveis, como madeira e cânhamo, ou fáceis de reciclar, como ferro e tijolo.
No contexto atual, os produtos modernos, projetados para atender a requisitos técnicos e estéticos, tornaram-se cada vez mais complexos, o que os torna também mais difíceis de reciclar.
No dia 15 de outubro, participe na discussão sobre a produção, características e usos dos materiais compósitos, com foco na Fibra de Vidro, para avaliarmos a possibilidade destes materiais compósitos se enquadrarem na economia circular.

“Conversational” Drawings | The importance of hand drawing raised as a communication tool
Event
02/10/2024 | 6 PM
View more

Living, vibrant, rhythmic, conversational and communicating drawings. Drawing is a universal language associated with art but also with communication. Drawing is also an exercise in individual reflection, which when shared with others can open up paths for discussion and, in the case of architecture, for the transmission of an idea or thought that you want to transform into reality. These drawings speak to us, at first, and then to others, they generate interactions and provoke contagions of enthusiasm, which other forms of communication cannot achieve. On October 2nd we will talk about freehand drawing, its power and the passion it carries.
