On Tuesday, October 28, 2025, at 6:00 p.m., in the Chapel of the Department of Architecture of the University of Coimbra, the talk “Clouds, Weather, Climate — Architecture between Modernity and the Planet” will take place, featuring architects Simone De Iacobis and Gosia Kuciewicz (Centrala), Nuno Grande, and architectural historian Hans Ibelings, curator of Anozero’26.
An initiative of the Anozero biennial, with the support of DARQ – Department of Architecture of the University of Coimbra. Admission is free, but advance booking is recommended at geral@capc.com.pt.
The collective Centrala, which will take part in Anozero’26, develops a practice focused on the relationship between architecture and natural processes. For its authors, architecture is flow and transformation, rather than a static form — a system in dialogue with gravity, water, and atmospheric and astronomical phenomena.
Hans Ibelings (Rotterdam, the Netherlands) teaches at the Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design at the University of Toronto. He is editor and executive editor of The Architecture Observer and Maas Lawrence (in collaboration with Nanne de Ru). Before moving to Canada in 2012, he founded and directed A10 — new European architecture, based in Amsterdam. He earned his PhD from the University of Coimbra in 2019 and is the author of several reference works, including Modern Architecture: A Planetary Warming History (2023), European Architecture since 1890 (2011), and Supermodernism: Architecture in the Age of Globalization (1998).
