The 2026 Soirée, titled"The future came, and it forgot we are neighbours,” was inspired by our exhibition focusing on Álvaro Siza’s vision of the city as a powerful social connector. This evening invited us to rethink the way our cities are shaped and inhabited: in designing for comfort and efficiency, have we forgotten connection? This communal gathering invited you to experience the warmth of shared moments with cocktails, a thoughtfully prepared dinner, and communal conversations encouraging social connection.
