The Lisbon Architecture Triennale announces Cristina Veríssimo and Diogo Burnay as the chief curators of its 6th edition, to be held in the fall of 2022. The choice of the curatorial team three years in advance has become an established practice of Lisbon Triennale, which allows for an extended reflection around the themes the curators will explore during the event.

Cristina Veríssimo (b.1964, Porto, Portugal) and Diogo Burnay (b.1965, Oeiras, Portugal) founded their architectural studio CVDB in 1999. The studio has earned several international awards for projects developed in varied global contexts. Combining architectural practice with teaching and research, they are frequent lecturers in Portugal and abroad. Cristina Veríssimo earned her Master in Architecture at Harvard University and has taught in countries such as Hong Kong, Argentina, Chile, United States and Canada. Diogo Burnay holds a master’s by Bartlett School of Architecture and is now associated professor and director of the School of Architecture at Dalhousie University in Canada.

For each edition, the Lisbon Triennale’s board alternates the selection of curators between open calls and direct invitations. For Lisbon Triennale 2022, the curatorial duo was selected based on several key principles, as José Mateus (Chairman of Lisbon Triennale) explains: “For the 6th edition, Cristina and Diogo were chosen not only due to their human qualities, which is always a fundamental criterion, but also due to their exceptional experience in all aspects of the discipline, covering education, academic and professional activities in Portugal and abroad, always working in particularly demanding contexts. This team of curators ensures a high-level 6th edition that continues and expands the role of Triennale as a growing international event”.

This announcement arrives in the upshot of Triennale 2019, The Poetics of Reason, that numbered more than 80.000 visits so far. Agriculture and Architecture: Taking the Country’s Side exhibition (one out of five main shows) is still running until 16 February.
