Within the aim of  celebrating the National Day of the Architect, which is celebrated on 3rd July, the Centro Regional Section of the Portuguese Order of Architects will hold the conference “Arquitectas da nossa casa” on 26 October 2024 to highlight the portuguese women architects.

Therefore an open Call was launched and is open until 15 September, inviting all women architects with active membership of the Portuguese Order of Architects to present their projects, ideas, personal testimonies and professional career, under the terms and conditions set out in Article 2 of the respective regulations.

The aim of this event is to give visibility to the current practice of women architects, providing a space for reflection and debate, as well as recognition and celebration of their diverse career paths.
In addition to the categories most directly related to architecture (project, work, etc.), the representations may also cover other areas of professional activity carried out by the candidates, such as literature, music, design, plastic arts, photography, teaching, scenography, performance, or even academic, political, social or public administration research work.

The works presented will be part of the exhibition “Arquitectas da nossa casa”, which will be inaugurated on 26 October 2024, at Casa das Caldeiras, in Coimbra, during the event.

The Open Call regulations and more information are available on the Order of Architects’ website, on the page dedicated to the event: https://ordemdosarquitectos.org/arquitectas-da-nossa-casa
