PT/ENG
Pedro Leão Neto, a lecturer and researcher at FAUP, and the coordinator of the Architecture, Art and Image (AAI) research group within the Centre for the Study of Architecture and Urbanism (CEAU), has been invited to participate in the RIBA Photo Festival, scheduled for 8-11 November 2023. He will be presenting the scopio Editions editorial project, which he has been leading since its inception in 2010.
The presentation, titled "SCOPIO Editorial Project: A Catalyst for Architectural Discourse and Ideas," aims to garner international recognition for this editorial project closely affiliated with the Faculty of Architecture of the University of Porto (FAUP) and its Centre for Architecture and Urbanism Studies (CEAU). The goal is to elucidate how this editorial project, centered on artistic documentary photography related to architecture, has played a pivotal role in fostering discussions and the development of ideas within the realm of architecture. Additionally, it has resulted in a noteworthy series of publications in both magazine and book formats, as well as the creation of two online academic journals on the U.Porto OJS platform that bridge photography with architecture and art, namely Sophia Journal and scopio Magazine.
