BARBAS LOPES ARQUITECTOS
Barbas Lopes Arquitectos is an architecture practice founded in 2006 by Patrícia Barbas and Diogo Seixas Lopes (1972-2016). Their projects range from furniture to urban design on a variety of scales and types. The work is grounded in the dialogue between theory and contemporary practices, manifested in their research and curatorial practice, teaching and lecturing. Their work has been presented in various contexts. Their practice was part of the Portuguese representation “In Conflict” (2021), and “Public without Rhethoric” (2018) at the Venice Biennial. The studio contributed to the exhibitions “Economy of Means”, “What is Ornament?” and “Inner Space” at Lisbon Architecture Triennale “Poetic of Reason” (2019). In 2017 the practice was invited for the Chicago Architecture Biennale “Make New History”. In 2020 they were listed for the Swiss Awards 2020 and Royal Academy Dorfman Award 2020. Patrícia Barbas was recently nominee to Divia Award 2023.
