Beyond the exhibition, the event will include a series of open lectures led by key figures from each studio, intended to explore their respective methodologies and design philosophies. These lectures will be held at Agostinho Neto University, Lusíada University, and Methodist University.

This collective architecture exhibition aims to energize and promote the ideas of young architects who have been exploring new design dynamics, reinventing codes and languages within Angolan architecture. In this context, seven studios of young architects in Luanda will exhibit their most significant work across a variety of scales.
