Shopyard Summer School is an intensive program focused on experimentation, aimed at students and recent graduates in architecture and related fields. The initiative will bring together 30 participants, proposing the reimagining and discussion of the activation of first generation shopping centers in Braga.
The applicants will be accompanied by three invited architecture studios: OITOO (Porto), BUREAU (Lisbon/Geneva) and OUEST (Brussels), who will guide the development of spatial and social proposals for three sites: Shopping Santa Cruz, Shopping Santa Bárbara and Centro Comercial Galécia. The Summer School program will also include events open to the public, such as lectures, visits, film screenings, a thought assembly and other activities.
Shopyard is part of Braga 25 Capital Portuguesa da Cultura/ Curators: Space Transcribers —Fernando P. Ferreira and Daniel Pereira, Instituto
