Synopsis: "We are all in the same boat, ready to disembark. Shouting, crying, or kicking feels like an option, perhaps to hold on a little longer to what is familiar, to what we know. But deep down, we are all in the same boat, ready to disembark; we want to escape, to let go, to leave. We want to be ready to make our own mistakes, time and time again. We’ll see each other around, in other lands, each now in their own boat. But what matters is knowing this: from the inside, everything seems normal; there are no distances for comparison. We know that one must leave the island to see the island."

“Jardins portáteis / Jardines portátiles” is a traveling exhibition featuring 23 artist's books created by students from the Faculty of Fine Arts at the University of Granada and the School of Architecture, Art and Design at the University of Minho (Guimarães, Portugal).

Exhibition ‘Under Construction’

 
Exp_GinasiUM
Thursday, 30/04/2026    EAAD | Campus de Azurém | Ginasi'UM
The exhibition ‘Under Construction’ opens on April 30th, at 11:00 AM, at Ginasi’UM, located on the Azurém Campus in Guimarães.
The exhibition invites a reflection on the role of construction in contemporary architecture, understood not merely as a technical solution, but as a stance regarding resources, production systems, environmental conditions, and cultural contexts. Through distinct approaches, the invited studios explore different ways of thinking about matter, systems, tectonics, and the responsibility of the project.

The showcase features work from six studios — SUMMARY, Pedrêz, Diogo Aguiar Studio, CRU, Clanet & Brito, and PURA — whose practices bridge industrialization, prefabrication, material experimentation, and bio-based construction. Ranging from concrete and wood to hemp, earth, and other building systems, the exhibition highlights how every constructive decision implies a specific relationship with the territory, the economy of means, and environmental impact.

The exhibition is intended as a space for observation and critical discussion, asserting construction as a central dimension of contemporary architectural thought.

Wednesday, 29/04/2026    EAAD | IDEGUI e Laboratório da Paisagem, Guimarães
The School of Architecture, Art and Design at the University of Minho, in collaboration with the Landscape Laboratory and the Guimarães 26 – European Green Capital Mission Unit, is organizing the 2nd Symposium on Product and Service Design in Portugal
This event celebrates World Design Day and will take place on April 29, 2026, at the Guimarães Design Institute and the Landscape Laboratory. As Guimarães holds the title of European Green Capital 2026, this year’s theme is particularly timely: Designing the Future of Cities. How do we want the cities of the future to be? What role does design play in building more sustainable, inclusive, and people-centered urban spaces? What solutions are already being developed?

The Symposium will begin at the Landscape Laboratory with the Guimarães Climate Journey - One City, One Planet, an immersive, interactive, and educational experience focused on local environmental best practices, covering topics such as Nature and Biodiversity, Climate Change, Water, Waste Management, Air Quality, and Noise.

In the afternoon, at the Guimarães Design Institute, five panels will bring together professionals and academics to reflect on building urban spaces centered on people and the planet.

The Symposium aims to promote the sharing of scientific and professional knowledge, bridging the gap between academia and industry, and showcasing innovative national projects that drive user-centered solutions for urban environments.
