Lisbon 1&2.Feb.2023

Location: Lisbon, Day 1 – Hub Criativo do Beato, Day 2 – Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation.

The two-day Bauhaus of the Seas Sails kick-off event will take place on 1st and 2nd of February in Lisbon, Portugal. It will be hosted by the Municipality of Lisbon and the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, the project’s local partners. The main goal of the event is to present the Bauhaus of the Seas Sails project among the consortium members and showcase both local and international projects related to its research themes and interests.
Day 1 will take place at Hub Criativo do Beato and will combine keynote addresses, an artistic performance, a seaweed-based lunch, the opening of an urban design exhibition and two consortium partner workshops. A showcase of research approaches to the seas will bring to Lisbon researchers from all over Portugal, who will present their work in areas such as architecture, biology, archaeology, energy transition and climate justice.
On Day 2, consortium partner representatives and guests will gather at the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation and explore the project’s “drops” – concrete activities and experiments that over the next three years will engage local communities on a sustainable, fair and appealing transition. Following two sessions of 15-minute presentations, which will follow the themes of “Connecting” and “Designing”, the members of this engaged audience will take part in four workshop sessions led by Bauhaus of the Seas Sails partner institutions.

Performance: A Metabolic Procession
by Evy Jokhova and Jamie Allen
A Metabolic Procession commemorates and observes the bounties of the sea — resources that seem to us, problematically, practically endless. A meal of mussels, bivalve molluscs from coastal waters of Portugal, becomes a ceremony and vigil for the exchanges we engage in when we eat foods from the sea. This performance was first presented in 2021 as A Metabolic Procession at MAAT museum with TBA21-Academy as part of Architectures of the Enclosed Sea: from Aquaria to Marine Protected Area curated by Louise Carver, a public programme of the exhibition Aquaria Or the Illusion of a Boxed Sea curated by Angela Rui.

11:30-12:00 Bakery building
Exhibition opening: Work In Progress, IST Architecture, DECivil Department
Guided tour by Teresa Valsassina Heitor and Francisco Teixeira Bastos, Professors of Architecture, IST/CITUA
The exhibition highlights work from the IST architectural master program’s fall 2023 semester, including models, drawings and renderings alongside student quotes from classes throughout the semester. The exhibition is an open-ended stage where students’ works are viewed in a wider spectrum. It uncovers a variety of processes that has gone into conceiving new scenarios for Beato, Setubal, Funchal and Porto Santo and creating a platform for conversations that can bring a new chapter into the process.

Presentation: The Turtle Project
by Nate Petre and Nathan Jones, DAM
By creating one of Europe’s largest 3D printers at Hub Creativo Beato, the Turtle Project by DAM highlights the ease and flexibility of installing affordable human-scale technology to accelerate local, deployable circular economies. DAM is a circular economy tech development company that has expanded their research and development factory from London to Lisbon to provide a disruptive supply chain solution for manufacturing enabled by the latest digital technologies. It can provide a rapid route to market for manufacturing innovations, while quality, product variation and maintenance can be controlled remotely.

Presentation and lunch: A Regenerative meal
by chefs Glediston Santos & Joana Duarte, Praça
[Project consortium members only]
Portugal is the EU country with the 3rd largest ZEE, and one of its greatest marine resources is seaweed. It is known that seaweed is essential to keep CO2 rates low in the oceans, as are potential bio resources available for both food, medicinal purposes and biofossil production. Glediston Santos and Joana Duarte present a menu idealized using indigenous seaweed from the Portuguese Coast, in a sustainable and versatile approach for this powerful marine resource.
