OrganisateurCurator : Sébastien Marot (OCS/AUSser)Co-produced by Garagem Sul and Lisbon Architecture TriennaleLieu de l'exposition : Centre culturel de Belèm, Praça do Império, 1449-003 Lisboa, Portugal  Date : 05 octobre 2019 au 16 février 2020Accédez au site : Taking the Country’s SidePrésentationTaking stock of the severe environmental predicament that now faces  our world, this exhibition intends to ignite a reflection (both  retrospective and pro-spective) on the strong link between the twin  disciplines of agriculture and architecture, and on their growing  divorce since the industrial revolution. It aims to learn from  agricultural scientists, activists and designers who have consistently  explored the hypothesis of a future of energy descent and its  consequences, for the redesign and maintenance of living territories.  Agroecology and permaculture have evolved useful concepts and strategies  for imagining a post-industrial technology based on a radical economy  of energy and material resources. What if we consider permaculture not  only as a kind of architecture? What about redefining architecture’s  rationality and economy of means today?The exhibition is structured in three main areas: a central space  with seven sections, a large-scale illustration and a screening area for  documentary films. “Taking the Country’s Side” is a reflexive and  didactic attempt to reconnect architecture and agriculture and to  emphasize lessons that contemporary architects and urbanists might draw  from this school of thought and action.
