Museum of Art and Archaeology of the Côa Valley, Portugal
Exchange: Patrick Lynch and Camilo Rebelo
Tuesday 9 March 2010, 6:00pm, Forum
MA&DE hosts Celebration Week’s opening evening lecture: a cultural, educational and architectural Exchange. Starting from the work of an invited guest and a staff member, the debate will focus on the duplicities inherent to space-making in the current context, questioning the re-localization of references and the traditional collaboration between art and architecture. Exchange will be extended to the academic ground, allowing for reflections on how reciprocity is fundamental for shaping our architectural culture.

He studied architecture at Liverpool University 1987-93 and holds a Master of Philosophy degree in The History and Philosophy of Architecture from Cambridge University 1995-6.
