Description
The INSTITUTO arose from a desire to revitalise an old warehouse which, like a significant proportion of the buildings in the centre of Porto, had stood abandoned for several decades. In 2018, the building was refurbished by Paulo Moreira Architectures, who set up their studio there and established the INSTITUTO as an extension of their practice. The INSTITUTO is now managed by Tamanho Azul – Associação, the organisation that brings together the team responsible for the project’s development and consolidation.
Since its opening in December 2018, the INSTITUTO has organised a programme of events in various formats — talks, exhibitions, workshops and publications. It has hosted events, training sessions and dedicated programmes involving individual and collective participants from a range of disciplines, both nationally and internationally. Its location on Rua dos Clérigos, close to the city’s landmarks, the bustling Baixa district and a transport network connecting the whole city, has been key to its growing activity and increasing visitor numbers.
