Teaching, investigating, intervening - the case of in situ Architecture Intervention Laboratories

Abstract

The in-situ Architecture Intervention Laboratories have been held since 2012, having already been held eight editions. They are an initiative of CEACT/UAL – Center for City and Territory Architecture Studies of the Autonomous University of Lisbon. They aim to bring academic training closer to the reality of the work built and to enhance the relationship between all partners, in a work of close collaboration. In this visual essay, the 2015 edition is presented, with a reflection oriented to the role of this type of intervention in the interrelation between teaching, research and action.
