Lisbon Architecture Triennale 2025: John Palmesino and Ann-Sofi Rönnskog to Curate
The 2025 Lisbon Architecture Triennale will be under the direction of John Palmesino and Ann-Sofi Rönnskog, who are the founders of Territorial Agency and serve as Unit Masters at the AA Architectural Association School of Architecture. Their concept, chosen by a jury that includes José Mateus, Cláudia Taborda, Filipa Oliveira, Matevž Čelik, and Pippo Ciorra, revolves around the question, "How heavy is a city?" This edition will investigate the influence of the technosphere on urban environments in the Anthropocene, building on the sustainability theme from 2022. It will include various venues, a digital platform, and three exhibitions: "Flows," "Spectres," and "Lighter." Participants will be revealed in 2025, with the Triennale commencing in October 2025 after three years of preparation.
