The Poetics of Reason: Lisbon Trienal

The Lisbon Trienal is my favourite international architecture event. There is a reliable focus on architecture as a profession related to production and to social organistion. For the latest iteration in 2019 The Poetics of Reason, I was invited to copy edit a series of books associated with the five major exhibitions at the Trienal. The five books were published in partnership with the Barcelona based publisher Polígrafa. They stand as unique editions, focusing on the several themes of the main exhibitions, but together they form a compilation of ideas about construction today. This limited collection was edited by different curatorial teams from all over Europe and I had the job of forming their text into a consistent, intelligible format.
