At a time when quiet distances have settled into contemporary life, we pause to reflect on how we might find our neighbours once again. We are pleased to announce that this year’s Soirée, titled"The future came, and it forgot we are neighbours,” is inspired by our upcoming exhibition focusing on Álvaro Siza’s vision of the city as a powerful social connector. This evening invites us to rethink the way our cities are shaped and inhabited: in designing for comfort and efficiency, have we forgotten connection? This communal gathering invites you to experience the warmth of shared moments, with cocktails, a thoughtfully prepared dinner, and communal conversations encouraging social connection.
