In 2011 it was established the collective “Architectural Practice(s)”, a student group that developed a research project. The project had the support of University of Porto. Among others activities, the collective organized an international conference cycle “Architectural Practice(s): Project – Research – Writing”, throughout 2012, with several guests including Jean-Philippe Vassal, Federico Soriano, Luis Martínez Santa-María and Jacques Lucan.
The general purpose was to ponder how to serve Architecture as expression and physical projection of the imagination, as experimentation and experience, as knowledge and happening, and to think about the mobility of the meanings and the complexity of available tools.
