International Conference “The Architecture of Need: Collective-Use Facilities and Community Service in the Twentieth Century”

The international conference The Architecture of Need wants to bring together current research efforts to reconsider the role of need in the equation of architectural production by examining how collective-use facilities, devised for community service in response to specific needs, originated and came to fruition in the twentieth century, in any geography.

The conference is co-organised by DINÂMIA’CET-Iscte, CIDEHUS-University of Évora and the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation. The Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation is a Participating Institution of the research project ArchNeed – The Architecture of Need: Community Facilities in Portugal 1945-1985.
